    Introverted and extroverted don't mean the same as quiet and outgoing; they're personality types not descriptions of behaviour. They aren't something you can try out; it's something you just are (or, if you identify with neither completely you could call yourself an ambivert). It can change and flow with time, but you can't force it.

    Personally, I think no. Only because I myself am an introvert, and have successfully become a fake extrovert. In the end, I'm still an introvert, but I fight my nature, and to others, I appear to be an extrovert. I don't think I can ever truly change that part of me, since that's just who I am. But you know, that's just me. I can only vote from my experiences. Some people may be more capable than I am

    I think so. I used to be extremely introverted, but I've been practcing coming out a little bit more. I'm still an intorvert, but I am not nearly as bad as what I used to be.

      You can definitely ACT more extroverted. I think you can change how comfortable you are when you're in those situations. But someone who tends to be introverted will probably always lean that way.

        Agree with this comment. I'm an introvert who has tried to become an extrovert, but it hasn't worked for me.

      Yes, I guess I could have stated it better. But you understood what I was getting at. As far as being more sociable, like can you go from shy to outgoing.
