Do you think an introvert can ever develop an outgoing personality by keeping his true self.?

I used to be the exact same way and now I am a "social butterfly". Definitely follow your heart. Life has it's own natural path. Be patient, be you, but most of all be happy. :^)

Unless it's taken to extremes, being an introvert is just as normal as being outgoing and extroverted.\n\nIf you want to be less introverted, find activities that you are interested and feel comfortable with (caving, science fiction, opera, heavy metal, woodworking - whatever) and then look for local and online organizations of people with similar interests.\n\nGood luck!

I used to be just like you.  I loved it!  Home was my down time.  I always felt that the girl at school was the real me but once I went away to college I discovered that that act I put on at school took too much energy and the quiet side prevailed.  I suspect you are a person of depth and that's a good thing.  Being able to project a personality while you maintain your inner core is a great gift; a great blessing.  Be grateful for it.  These words from Emily Dickinson may help you to appreciate this stage you're in now (because it won't last):\nThe soul selects her own society \nThen shuts the door\nOn her divine majority\nPresent no more.

Being a loner is just an extension of your inner personality.  It's all a matter of preference (although friends are never a bad thing to have) and should be taken as thus.

Yes. It's definately impt. It will carry on what kind of person and character u are.

I don't think that being outgoing would be a problem if you are aware and no when enough is enough. You already said that you do, so don't worry about it. What about your man? Is he like you or is he more of a conservative? If he is you might have some issues there in the long run, but be yourself. You are only here for a short time and people have a good time around you then so be it.

I used to be like that.  I learned to pretend that I was more confident and outgoing than I really was - I mean these people didn't know I was shy etc, so they would not find it strange.  Eventually I just became more confident and outgoing.

Is this an introverted question?

To answer this question in a correct manner is impossible, by this I mean to each his own.  but in my eyes, I like the more talkative and outgoing...but I also want them to listen when I talk.  Looks aren't that important.

I hope not, because I am really quiet in person.  When i'm on the computer, more on my personality shows because in person, I get shy and quiet and it is hard to get to know me.  I wish I could change that...

Yes. Just be yourself and be patient.

But of course. Why not?  You sometimes have to learn how to be good company to yourself.

sadly to say...I've been at both ends of your question until I took a hard look at who I was and now I'm truly genuine. what I did and who I was put a lot of fan fair on me. It was fun until I wanted to get serious with life at a comfort level of "normal" . there's no room for ego when you want to share your life with someone special.. Don't confuse ego with self confidence. :)

It's good that you are willing to help others. It won't be easy if you are a true introvert. I'm pretty much an introvert myself, and would probably be living with my mom and dad or just working at McDonalds if it weren't for lucky things that have happened to me. Thank the fates!\nWhat would help me right now would be if I weren't such an introvert, but you know what? Since I can't do that, and I'm having to endure being around other people, letting them see what a dork I am, then what I really need is more patience, more patience for me to have, and I wish more patience other people to have for me.\nI'm happy that I am alone right now....\nI'm scared that I won't be alone, a friend is coming over and we're going out...Then I have to go back to work Monday.\nI'm angry that I have to be this way, and other people will say, "Get over it!" It's not that easy...\nGood luck!

I've always been a type A personality which could often make for an interesting dilemma for an introverted trait.  Now, I'm still A but I like to slide into B and hang out a lot more.  Good question & thanks for asking!  :)

you cant just 'adopt' a personality, your personality evolves from experiences you have and what you go through in life, it will grow and change with time, just let it - you're trying too hard!
