Is Starting A Business With A Friend A Good Idea For An Introvert Who Struggles With Confrontation?(i Will Not Promote)

I've been seriously considering starting a business/startup, but the thought of doing it alone feels overwhelming. I'm naturally introverted and have a hard time handling confrontations or uncomfortable conversations, which I know are inevitable in entrepreneurship.
I've thought about partnering with a friend since it seems less daunting, but I've heard mixed opinions about starting businesses with friends—some say it's ideal because of trust and shared understanding, others warn it can risk friendships and complicate things.
Additionally, finding the right person has proven difficult for me. Most of my current friendships are either not very value-adding or involve people who tend to avoid taking responsibility for their mistakes.
I am actively working on becoming more assertive and comfortable with confrontation, but I know I still have a long way to go.
For those who've been in similar situations:
- Did starting a business with a friend help you overcome or manage these personal hurdles?
- How did you find or choose the right partner for your startup?
- Are there tips or advice you wish someone had given you beforehand?
Thanks in advance for your insights!
