Is it normal to feel odd when becoming more social?

Normally, or through out most of my life anyway, I have been an introvert. I always enjoyed it, and I still do, because i always had such a vivid imagination. Recently however, I've been becoming something more social, I've been getting out more and such. But as much as I enjoy this, I still feel really socially inept, and I feel as though I am being untrue to myself. I also find that my imagination is becoming less able as I become more social. Is it normal to feel this way when going from being very introverted to a little more social or extroverted?

Is It Normal?

    Yes very, I'm the same but in reverse at the moment, I have always been very sociable and social job and connected with alot of people, but the past 2 years I have illness related anxiety problems due to an incurable illness I have, and I don't do hardly anything of what I used to do and it hurts, and I feel sad and like my true self is lost somewhere trying to get free, it's hard.

    that's happening to me to, but I think it's a good thing for me cause I got tired of barely knowing anyone at my school except for my close friends.

    I imagine so.
    I'm a fairly good balance of intro-extro but very likely more introvert. I think I'd think oddly of myself if that were to change, as well.
