*sigh* Just for the record, I don't think that personality is fixed. But I also don't think that it's healthy to want to change it either.

As for "definitions" of introversion/extraversion, and discussions of the validity of the field of Personality Theory, and whether or not introversion/extraversion is a component of personality, I'd prefer to not get involved.

Let's just say that there's a whole heck of a lot of thought gone into it than simply a dictionary definition.

Anyways, while there's plenty of room for debate, my point is that based on the posts made by lightthecandle, the "one day fix" she seeks is probably best addressed by vigorous exercise.

I can base this advice on both theory, anecdote and personal experience.

There's a reason that Nike had that slogan "Just Do It" One that is known to those that engage in vigorous exercise.
