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.
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!

Andreea: I am a proud introvert,I am very comfortable with myself and would never trade my personality with the one of an extrovert.
Lanvin: They are related to each other ! One feeds the other !
laralizard: Doesn't make sense. Being an introvert in a part of your personality, nothing to do with confidence and all that. Introverts tend to like to be alone and get tired being around people too much. Introverts can have good social skills as well. "Become and extovert" is same as you told someone to become a different person.
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.
splashhhh: Its nice to b extrovert but its not easy .
Londra: I seriously need to be an extrovert like NOW
Rhiannon: This is actually kind of an offensive article. Being introverted/extroverted simply means how you recharge your batteries: if you feel energised by being around loads of people and being the life and soul of the party then you are extroverted, if you would rather spend time with just a few close friend or read a book then you are introverted! This doesn't mean you are boring, socially awkward or dont enjoy a party! You cannot ask someone to become an extrovert... IT IS IMPOSSIBLE! I think the title of this article should be... How to be more confident! Besides, there's nothing wrong with being an introvert, some of the greatest minds in history were introverted! You cannot ask someone to change who they are!
Stephanie: Being an introvert isn't something you can, or should, change.
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....
