Do you have trouble speaking in front of your boss? Are you too shy to ask the person you like out on a date? Do you always sit in a quiet corner of a room when a party is in full swing? Would you like to change all this? Do you want to be more extroverted? Well, if you read the following article, perhaps you will learn how to remove the barrier you have created around yourself and you will naturally become more talkative and assertive.
Just because someone is outspoken or likes to be the center of attention doesn’t necessarily mean they’re outgoing. The same goes for introverts, people who are generally quiet does not mean they are hermits or recluses. Some people have a very wrong idea about introverts. They seem to forget that there are two types of personalities, extroverts and introverts. No one can judge which is better. However, in today’s world, where communicating and interacting with people is a must, many people are trying to become more and more naturally extroverted.
Now, the root of the problem is not in the present. It really is what you are. Being an introvert is not something you can help. It is a core element of your personality, one that you cannot change. However, what you can change is your outer personality. You can act more like an extrovert. You can try to be more enthusiastic and sociable, try to learn to be more assertive and also try to learn to improve your communication skills.
The first thing to do when trying to become extroverted is to do something that you normally would never do. Now, I don’t want to say commit a crime or anything, but the main thing I’m trying to say is get out of your comfort zone. You are much more comfortable being an introvert and that is why your personality has been shaped that way.
You can then start talking to more people. I know it sounds a bit weird to talk to new people just to change your personality, but you need to expand your social circle. Don’t think about what the other person might be thinking about you. You want this change in yourself and you must be the judge of what you are doing. Don’t let the fear of what people might think stop you from fulfilling your mission.
Another thing you can do is watch how others interact and learn from them if you feel completely uncomfortable talking to someone. That way, when you start your own socialization, you’ll know the dos and don’ts! In addition, you need to find people with the same interest or something similar with you. This will make it much easier for you. Also, try to remember the names of people you know. It wouldn’t look attractive if you forget who you’re talking to!
