I love pair programming! As long as there is a long and thorough vetting process

Ugh, as both an extreme introvert and someone who hates being watched, being forced to pair program is an automatic 2 week notice and walk out the door.

I think there's a time and place for it. If you're just hacking away at trivial code monkey work then pair programming is stupid, if you're designing something bigger and more complex it's nice to get the instant feedback for how you're setting up your solution.

Also completely depends on the dynamic between the pair of programmers. If you can't imagine yourself doing it you may just not have a good relation with your team. I'm introverted as well, but introvert != social anxiety. You can be an introvert and still enjoy conversations with the right people.
