Default ditto to what alchemiss said

Maybe my understanding of what it means to be an introvert, and what it means to be an extrovert is different than yours.

As far as personality types go, I'm not sure if you want to change your personality.

Far better to uncover your own personal spark of genius and strengthen what you're already good at, than bemoan what you don't do well.

Having said that, perhaps you're thinking in terms of actions. How to behave in a manner where you feel confident talking to strangers, how to engage their interest, how to have fascinating things to discuss.

There are many methods to accomplish that, and you don't need to "change" from an introvert to an extrovert to be sociable and outgoing and friendly.

Personally, my journey involved steps such as: joining Toastmasters, learning how to be a PUA, stepping up to more management roles at work, learning how to have fun and enjoy being myself.
