adjective to describe a person who doesn't talk much about his personal things or feelings, he's friendly, but doesn't share his problems or worries.I wouldn't use 'introvert' to describe him, though.

Just another viewpoint, speaking as an introvert
This was in my mailbox on Monday:
Introverts aren't necessarily bashful and extraverts aren't necessarily gregarious. In fact, half of the world's public performers are deeply introverted and extraverts can be painfully shy. Psychologically, introversion and extraversion refer only to where a person finds their energy. Extraverts are energized by people, places and things outside themselves. But introverts prefer to turn their thoughts inward to a laboratory of the mind where they like to "try things out" before taking any action.
When they say, "Let me think about it," extraverts often mean "You haven't really engaged my interest so I'll be leaving now," whereas an introvert usually means, "You've told me something new, surprising or different, so now I need some undistracted time to decide how I feel about it." But this doesn't mean that introverts can't make snap decisions. In fact, introverts usually respond with lightning speed when asked about something they've already thought about.
