7 Valuable Reasons Why It's Time to Become an Extrovert ...

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!

Tiger-V being introvert is living
mary being a introvert isnt something you can choose to be and change it around
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!!!!
Stephanie Being an introvert isn't something you can, or should, change.
bridget This list isn't possible for introverted people its not this simple for them... Face palm
- Briana @bridget I'm an introvert and it's not easy to just walk up to somebody and start talking. I wish I was an extrovert.
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.
Londra I seriously need to be an extrovert like NOW
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.
Ali I usually enjoy the articles here, but this is super offensive. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being an introvert, and it's certainly not something you can just change.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Elanra Your feelings. But never be ashamed of who you are
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.
- Vladlena @Elanra extroverts are not people who shout things out or talk too much, they are just more comfortable with people and have more confidence when it comes to communication. Everyone can benefit from good social skills!
Lanvin They are related to each other ! One feeds the other !
Andreea I am a proud introvert,I am very comfortable with myself and would never trade my personality with the one of an extrovert.
splashhhh Its nice to b extrovert but its not easy .
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.
- Kim @Josefin no one is all introvert or an extrovert, just you are more of one then the other. It's true not all of these apply to specifically being an extrovert but are generally life skills. Extroverted people might like being in a group but could be trying to hide something. In a small group, that person wouldn't be able to hide the secret, so they feel more comfortable. Introverts are good because they will often listen and think about what the troubled is saying & be able to help them better vs. extrovert who might just talk over them. A better title: tips to be a better socializer.
Hannah You don't just become an extravert.
Jade None of these qualities are not at all limited to extroverts. Most of them aren't even remotely associated with being extroverted vs introverted. This post doesn't make sense.
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....
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! :)
