The main reasons that are coming to my mind regarding relationships:
Introverts are self-centered in that they are somewhat unwilling to make sacrafices (of time, getting to know others, etc.)
I have to disagree with that. Using myself and the few introverts I have known, that willingness in "getting to know others" is, to me, a misguided stereotypical assessment that's developed probably on groups like INTPc and doesn't hold water. I, for one, am fascinated with people and wish to know them. In fact, taking the point one step further, I think the odds of an "I" getting to know another person deeply and understanding them is greater than those of an "E" doing so just because of the "focus" factor. "Is" just don't care to attempt that in a group setting precisely because of their need to focus deeply without distractions.
I run my own graphics group and am constantly hearing from members that they can't believe I remember this or that little tidbit about them (their likes and dislikes, color preferences, etc) that I learned a dozen years ago when they mentioned it in passing. Why? Because I focus on them intently.... but one a time which is easy on the net.
I suppose, but extreme introverts would not pertain to your case.
So extreme they are almost pure. They would be peoplephobic and probably categorized as autistic.
Selectively mute people (do not have to be extreme introverts) could pertain to this kind of selfishness.
imho, there's truth in this. In fact, just bumped against this dynamic last night. Introvert me had to put my extravert game face on yesterday for a work-related, all-day promo event. When I got home, all I wanted to do was be left alone to detox. But my extravert SO wanted attention. Neither of us really wanted to sacrifice for the other, and although we reached something of a compromise, the evening did not end on a pleasant note.Introverts are self-centered in that they are somewhat unwilling to make sacrafices (of time, getting to know others, etc.)
Extraverts are self-centered in that they demand attention.
Introverts are often less narcissistic. This probably has to do with receiving and wanting less praise. Tell my if my spelling is wrong.

Seriously, back up your points. None of your posts have their points backed up.
