Is social anxiety the same as introversion?

Is it possible that I’ve been an extrovert my whole life and not realized it because it has been buried under heaps of social anxiety? When I get drunk I am real talkative, I love big parties, and the one time in my life that I was recieving treatment for my anxiety (lexapro), I joined theater class and tried out for a play. Is it possible that I am actually an extrovert incapable of expressing my true self because I am frozen by fear?

I don’t think they are the same. I am a bit introverted but I don’t think I ever have problems with social anxiety. People can like to keep to themselves and have a close knit group of friends but still be comfortable in social settings.
