You're not entirely wrong, but I don't think they are entirely orthogonal either.

There is almost certainly a significant overlap between introversion and social anxiety/dread, even if they aren't 1:1 related

If nothing else, many people with a lot of social anxiety will claim they are simply introverts in order to cover for their anxiety
