How I thrived as an introverted software developer (2021) [video]

Does programming attract a higher proportion of introverted or shy people? Are programmers more comfortable in front of a computer than in a room of people? I'm sure we all have anecdotal experiences that confirm or refute that stereotype.

(Note: the terms shyness and introversion are often used interchangeably, sometimes mistakenly, but they are also closely related for some individuals.)

In a different context, I've seen YouTubers (like the link posted here) confess on camera that they are introverts or shy, but still reveal about their lives and continue to talk confidently in front of the camera. Behaviour that might contradict our perception of introversion or shyness. (I presume an 'invisible' audience of thousands of viewers on a YouTube channel is much less daunting that talking to a real audience in front of you.)

If you find this topic interesting, here's another video: Can you be an introvert movie director? (it features the director David Sandberg who directed 'Lights Out', 'Annabelle Creation', and 'Shazam') https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEyFH-uzlGg (note: this features a very brief NSFW horror clip).
