Is it possible for an introvert person to become an extrovert

[Penlex_Writer]

I have come to realize that as a person advances in age, there are certain futures that also change either for good or otherwise. I have known people for over some decades who are the vocal type and at a particular age they become more mature and composed they no longer act as they used to. I have also seen the quiet type turn vocal that they can not be intimidated anymore as they used to be. I have seen the fearful type turn fearless as well. I have once asked this question you asked here and I was told it has to do with age and maturity and that is just the simple answer to your question.

However, experience too is another factor that changes individuals because most extroverts you see today are introverts but because they have done things to them that provoked them, they turn extroverts overnight in defense of themselves to not be intimidated or harmed.

agree,the age determines the changes either for good or bad,as you said a child you intimidate today can easily change over night to resist you,and also the experience they have also brings changes in them too.

That's true because times and events really makes people to change over time so a child that is timid today can turnout to be some one who's vocal and outspoken in the future it's just a matter of time if that child takes the right decision and steps towards making sure that he or she begins to socialize and be in the company of whose who always encourage and help that child out it will no be long when that child will begin to change from being an introvert to an extrovert

I have seen people change as a result of there previous experience and mistakes. Some mistakes is enough to instill boldness in a person and make him an extrovert. Some persons have lost things of value simply because they couldn't speak up. Knowing when to speak up is very important.

Recently, there was a complain in a family. Two siblings were instructed to go to the Ministry for documentation and the collection of an appointment letter. When they arrived, none of them could find their names on the master list, but they had received an SMS.

One went home because she was shy, and the other, who was certain that her name should be on the list because someone recommended them for the job, began making a case for herself, and after all was said and done, their names were on the list, but on a different day. So, they were scheduled on the day to come and pick up their appointment letter.

Imagine both siblings walking away out of timidity, maybe they would have lost the opportunity. The person who spoke up while narrating this story explained that she felt compelled to be outspoken because she had previously missed similar opportunities due to her silence. Thus, as you correctly stated, time and events can cause people to change.

It's very possible for an introvert to turn into an extrovert because you being an introvert is a function of exposure and the environment that one is found so if an introvert who is serious about his condition take steps that will make sure that he socialize with people in a bit to leave his old life of always keeping to himself it will only be a matter of time that the person will turn into someone that will become social with others so it is very possible for an introvert to turn into an extrovert

yeah you are right the environment and friends you associates with will influence you,if your friends are extrovert with time you will adapt there lifestyle.

As they said, impossibilities can never be possible, but in this case, it can be possible, it possible for an introvert person to become an extrovert. During childhood some people use to be calm, careful and gentle but when some reach the stage of adolescent and they started experiencing growth and development their attitudes will change and they will start feeling so superior of themselves and looking down. And it can also be vice versa, it is also possible for an extrovert person to become an introvert.

Its very possible, because one thing we have to know about change is being constant thing to expect, some people we see over a long period of time may also try to change and   by the time we may be seeing them next, those changes could have been more obvious in them, this is possible because we are growing each day, learning each day and adapting to new things as we go in life.

I have witnessed lots of people turn out to be introverts and extroverts but more especially introverts turn out to be extroverts not only that but they are very vocal and can never be intimidated, I have been around people so I know what I am saying as situations turns people around for good or for bad. Most people I have met told me how they were before compared to their current state and some even said to me that they could never have imagined them to be acting the way they are currently doing compared to their previous past.

The majority of them attributed it to the experience that turned or changed them to their current state. At the same time, some said their exposure made them have a second thought about needing to work on themselves so that they can be able to flow along with their peers as they go about. I believe sometimes it has to do with where we find ourselves for the time being which also influences us and makes us change or adapt to the current situation, company, or environment we find ourselves.

IS IT POSSIBLE FOR AN INTROVERT PERSON TO BECOME AN EXTROVERT DISCUSS YOUR OPINION?

An introverted individual can become extroverted if they are conscious of it and then begin to associate themselves with more extroverted individuals than themselves that can have their influence rub off on them. If you are introverted and wish to be extroverted, you may never be as extroverted as you wish, but at least you'll not be as introverted as you were.

Not like there is anything wrong with being an introvert, there are extroverted people too who wish they were introverts.

This mostly depend on the child's up bringing. A child who is brought up with a form of direction in his/her mind, will only see that as a major point of focus, and will not allow anything else to be a distraction, if this child is loved by the parents (cause he/she will want to ask questions on every discussion heard from friends and people), such a child cam be an extrovert yet, with focused mindset.

Any child who through the trauma of childhood might become an introvert, not having anyone to trust, this is a child who will find difficulty to change at adulthood, except they get to be around those who cares, that's when there can be change.

Experience that comes up along the line of becoming an adult, will totally concrete these decisions. With my little observations, I found out that people who are introverts are people who find peace with those whom they feel safe with, and can speak so loudly, but outside that circle, you will barely notice their presence.

So, I will conclude that introverts on their life experience of  meeting the right people who can help change them positively will make room of becoming extrovert.

Influence play a very critical role in the life of people so an introvert can by association become extroverted because of the kind of people who surrounds such a person so it's just a matter of time that introverts will turn out to be social and being around others because they have come across people who where social and has impacted positively on them
Someone being an introvert has so many reasons and could be traced the child hood days of such a person so staying around people with good vibes can help in changing the mindset of such a person to become more sociable

For me i have come across people in real life that use to be an introverts and then suddenly grew up and became and extroverted.Is it only possible during childhood or early adulthood or can people slowly change personalities as life experience takes place,for instance using myself as a reference when i was growing up as you to be shy but as ages ahead i see so many changes,so with my own experience an introvert person can turn into an extrovert as the cases maybe.

The environment is a very powerful tool or let me say force which can have a great effect on the life of humans. It shape and mould the life of an individual like a potter moulding clay. Take a young child who is very gentle and put him in an environment filled with violent or wild individuals, am telling your give that child some time he will adapt to the environment and become also very wild as his peer. So yes an introverted person can become an extrovert depending on the kind of environment he or she was subjected to

Well I for instance was an introvert growing u, I hardly relate with people, I am mostly inside the house, when I grew older due to the kind of people around me, they were easy going and friendly and I loved them and soon started communicating with them, I started from there and before you know it, I was already a outside man( extrovert). So the people one have around can make an introvert turn to an extrovert

Yes an introvert can later in become an extrovert it just depends on the individual and the kind of crowd he or she associates with. An introvert is someone who is reclusive like keeping to themselves, not socially active and has minimal friends. Introvert like building a wall around themselves this could be to protect themselves from society, or due to trauma, when they are able to break that wall and come outside into society, relating with people, becoming socially active and making friends they are no longer an introvert. It all depends on the individual mental capability to breaks the wall they surround themselves with and also associating with friends that are socially active.

Exactly, people an individual associates with can influence their mentality, so there is no doubt an introvert individual can later become an extrovert. People can change throughout their lives, due to social factors such as their interactions and relationships with others.

Social factor like you said is one of the primary factor that can make an introvert to be extrovert, however apart from this, I got to discover that there are some people that may still turn extroverted even though he or she may be in the midst of introvert, this being said let us note that apart from social factor, biological factor or genetics can also influence a person. There are some people that their genes may be dormant at their early childhood, as they begin to grow up this dormant genes may begin to manifest, like in this case the gene of extrovertedness may begin to exhibit in the life of that individual.
So if you ask me if an introvert can turn to an extrovert, I will say yes of course and this is made possible by numerous factors, and genetics or biological factor is one of them.
