Don't allow the fact that you're an introvert to be an excuse. e.g. "I'm an introvert, so it's OK for me to no talk to these people." With that being said, I believe it's OK. However, let's consider what being introverted really means. It just means that you find it more difficult to talk/relate/network with others. Some of the most outgoing people I know are really introverted - you would never know.
A few tips:
1) Always smile.
2) Don't develop preconceived notions that prevent you from building relationships.
3) Force yourself to talk with others.
4) Avoid making negative comments. Try to be enthusiastic.
If you practice this religiously, people will never know that you're introverted. I know, because this is me - no one in my social circles would ever believe me if I told them that I thought I was naturally introverted.
