do u think Extreme Introvert-ness is a sign of danger?? as i have experienced??

I'm not sure how you are able to recognize absolute introverts (or extroverts), especially on SF. I am not sure what extreme introversion is, but I do think that Allah (SWT) created us in a variety of ways (spectrum of possibilities) in order that we serve various purposes within our societies. Unfortunately, we come to value certain aspects over others and look at our differences and deviations (and we each have them) as points of weakness or dis-ability. Furthermore, I do think that a majority of people experience degrees of introversion and extroversion in various combinations that change over the course of their lifetime - such that it would not be possible to neatly categorize any single person as either/or and keep them there throughout their life. This is why labels are dangerous.

The Prophet (SAW) provides the best example for us in this regard. He used to withdraw from society from time-to-time to meditate/contemplate in a cave but he was also active in society and took part in various aspects of society. Balance. When he started receiving the revelations, he did not change. He continued to be as he was. He never forced his will on anyone and whenever he could, he would solicit the opinions of those more knowledgeable - often taking action based on their counsel. I think these are extremely beautiful qualities and really bring forth harmony and peace within a group. Balance. I believe all are likely necessary for a healthy, well balanced, peaceful society where everyone feels they have a part and everyone does contribute in various ways.

And Allah (SWT) knows best.
