Introversion is different from both shyness and social anxiety. Social anxiety is, as you said, a condition or state of mind that can be crippling. Shy people have trouble interacting with others. Introverts can sometimes function in social situations but simply prefer solitude over being around others.
IIN that being introverted is actually a mental disorder?
