Extraversion/introversion has a genetic component and I don't believe you can actually go from introvert to extrovert or vice versa.
That doesn't mean you can't improve your social skills if you're shy.
Being introvert is not bad. It's really sad that introverts think they have some kind of problem. I personally love introverts, generally they can see more deeply and feel more profoundly. They are more focused and more concentrated, they often are a better workers. They are also better listeners.
Social skills is another thing. Introverts can develop terrific social skills. Their ability to listen is mesmerizing. They can communicate on a more deep level. And that's just precious.
