MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Mathematically proficient students understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments. They make conjectures and build a logical progression of statements to explore the truth of their conjectures. They are able to analyze situations by breaking them into cases, and can recognize and use counterexamples. They justify their conclusions, communicate them to others, and respond to the arguments of others. They reason inductively about data, making plausible arguments that take into account the context from which the data arose. Mathematically proficient students are also able to compare the effectiveness of two plausible arguments, distinguish correct logic or reasoning from that which is flawed, and--if there is a flaw in an argument--explain what it is. Elementary students can construct arguments using concrete referents such as objects, drawings, diagrams, and actions. Such arguments can make sense and be correct, even though they are not generalized or made formal until later grades. Later, students learn to determine domains to which an argument applies. Students at all grades can listen or read the arguments of others, decide whether they make sense, and ask useful questions to clarify or improve the arguments.

I agree that it is incredibly important to keep your students comfortable in a learning space, and to keep that in mind when creating lesson plans and establishing dialog in the classroom. While we should encourage introverts to come out of their shell and interact with the classroom, to hope to get them more involved and be less shy, we should never alienate them or put them in a situation that they will feel uncomfortable in, as no one learns well if they're uncomfrotable. Using a more outgoing or extroverted student to help facilitate certain lessons and show their confidence of coming up in front of the class is an excellent way to not only encourage other students to get involved, but also provide a sort of bridge and common understanding and communication that the teacher is not above the students, and is on an equal level of respect and trust.
