We all at some point have tried to become an extrovert only to realize that it’s a lot more work than it seems. I think that everyone has at least one friend who for some reason gets along with everyone! They resemble some unknown species that we only tend to observe from afar. Nonetheless we should follow their example, because qualities of an extrovert can carry you far in life. Here are 7 reasons why it’s time to become an extrovert.
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!

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.
Embrace the vibrant colors and cozy vibes of the upcoming season with your loved ones. Planning for some memorable fall family photos is a unique way to capture the warmth and love amidst the breathtaking autumnal hues. Trust me, these keepsakes would be beyond beautiful.
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!

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! :)
Elanra: This is a horrible article. Some of the most genius people are introverts because they observe rather than shouting out everything they think or hear. They're are pluses and minus to being an extrovert or an introvert but its not really something you can or should want to change. I took the test awhile back, and I am exactly 50% extrovert and 50% introvert. No one should try to change who they are . You just have to remember that if you are an extrovert remember the fact that you might talk too much or say things out loud and if you're an introvert to remember that you might have a tendency to suppress your feelings. But never be ashamed of who you are.
Andreea: I am a proud introvert,I am very comfortable with myself and would never trade my personality with the one of an extrovert.
Kimmi: Love, love the article.....one things for sure.....introverts are very defensive. If you like who you are, then be that ....do YOU but don't slice and dice the article for giving suggestions to modest, personified people....geez!!!!
Elanra: Your feelings. But never be ashamed of who you are
Sian: I'm disappointed by this post. Instead of writing about "how to become an extrovert" you should be writing about the benefits of being an introvert. Extrovert isn't always better than introvert and its time people realised this. The work place is very pro-extrovert and its time this changed! Perhaps you should read Susan Cain's "Quiet", then write a new post....
Stephanie: Being an introvert isn't something you can, or should, change.
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.
Destinee: I'm an introvert, and I can't make myself become an extrovert. It's just not possible for me and I'm happy with who I am. I think that other introverts should be happy with themselves as we'll. being quiet and kind of shy isn't a bad thing.
