It seems like you're looking at this the wrong way to me. The term "Introvert" doesn't mean "lacking social skills" in the way "Extrovert" doesn't mean "having great social skills."

If you want better social skills, work on that. It's easier to gain social skills than to change yourself in this dramatic of a way. If you're actually an Extrovert, but out of fear have Introverted tendencies, then there's nothing to fix except the overcomming of that fear.

If you're a true Introvert, why do you want to be an Extrovert? Where does that desire come from? Most of the time, if someone wants to change in this dramatic of a way, there's a strong underlying reason that should be delt with instead.
