1. Time to Build up Confidence
Confidence is one of the main qualities of an extrovert. They are not afraid to go outside their comfort zone and put themselves in different scenarios. So if you are looking for a way to become more confident, it’s time to mold yourself into a more sociable person. Once you learn to put yourself out there, you’ll be more comfortable with who you are and ultimately increase your confidence! It takes time to become an extrovert, but it’s all worth it!
2. Public Speaking
Public speaking is one skill that you will always need in life. No matter if you are in school or at work, public speaking and communication shape your character and influence the opinion other have of you. It’s no secret that having the qualities of an extrovert can help you in public speaking! If the public sees you as a more approachable and outgoing character, you’ll definitely appear more persuasive and become a focal point of the conversation!
Frequently asked questions
3. Making New Friends
Although some people can start up a conversation with a stranger without even trying, others find communicating with others as a very arduous task! It’s true everybody loves their alone time, but at some point you have to stop hiding from the civilization and make yourself approachable. Making life-long relationships can not only be beneficial to you, but it can save you during difficult times.
4. Experiencing New Things
Stepping outside your comfort zone, saying "yes" to more things and becoming somewhat of an extrovert can spice up your life! You can get opportunities that you only dreamed of and gain a surplus of experience by only putting more effort in conversing with others and being more active in a circle of new friends. Becoming more outgoing can start a chain of events with nothing less than a positive result.
5. Never Feeling out of Place
I’ll admit I used to be one of those people who found it easier to just stick with a group of friends and avoid others. I realized things needed to change! Feeling alone and isolated is the worst feeling, but you are the only person who can change that. So expand your circle of friends and make new friends; it never hurts to meet new people!
6. Living with No Regret
The worst possible thing that you can do is to restrain yourself from doing something you really want to do and then live with regret. So don’t be shy, don’t be afraid of being the center of attention and try not to care of what others may think of you. Letting loose is the best feeling!
7. Adapting to Changes
It’s a proven fact that changes are inevitable. You may move to another country, start a new job, enter a new high school or college - and the best way to get through those transitions is to become an extrovert. Being approachable and more social can guarantee you to have an easier time adapting to changes in your life! You won’t feel lonely and might make great memories!
As you can see there are some serious benefits to becoming an extrovert! However, I myself know that it can be a challenge, so let’s motivate each other to improve ourselves and become more outgoing! Why do you think it’s important to become an extrovert? Share in the comments!

Lanvin: They are related to each other ! One feeds the other !
Tiger-V: being introvert is living
Diane: Hold the bus!!! I've been an extrovert all my life and it isn't a bed of roses. Watch the video for Roger Sanchez's song 'Another Chance' where the girl's heart gets smaller and smaller. That is the reality of being an extrovert. You are NOT popular with everyone , in fact you are hated by lots of people!! Whether its jealousy or rubbing people up the wrong way, and, as we know this is not an equal society. Some people think its even worse if you're a girl and have the audacity to be extroverted !! Something I would never back down to I hasten to add. Inside every extrovert is a wee introvert saying 'what did you say that for!!??' So regrets apply to everyone. I often wish I could be more introverted! :)
Josefin: Being an introvert or extrovert is more part of your basic personality. I'm an introvert but that doesn't mean I'm not confident or that I can't talk to people or that I don't go out and experience the things that I want, it simply means that I need more time to myself than extroverts that instead usually seek to surround themselves with people most of the time to feel comfortable. I like being around people for a certain amount of time, then I need to recharge. There are more characteristics of being an introvert versus an extrovert and it differs from person to person. As Hannah said, you can't just become an extrovert. I think the advice in your post is useful, but it isn't really a question of becoming extrovert.
Sneha: Extrovert is not a personality trait. You need not be a loud petulant character when it's not called for. You need not steal the show be the centre of attention if someone else is deserving it. So at times you need to have a silent approach be the audience and stay put. Be comfortable first. In an uncalled situation too much exuberance can make you look wacko. In a situation where you must stand up for yourself it's good to be confident and show it. So just be adaptable and choose to behave rightly.
Reverend: You are clearly not now, and never have been an introvert. Not a single item in this list is lacking in introverts nor are they traits of extroverts. I get so very tired of people thinking introverts are socially stunted and need to be fixed. We simply get what we need from our inner world instead of needing the outside world's constant attention. Too bad for all those extroverts dependent on others for their confidence and self worth. We introverts don't need your approval. It is extroverts who want to gain our approval by trying to make your extroverted values our own. Stop telling us we're wrong and broken and work on yourselves for a change.
Erin: Being an extrovert doesn't mean you're are out going it means you get your energy from people...you can be very out going and be an introvert...you just get your energy from yourself. I'd say I'm a very outgoing introvert.
