About This Article
You can be an extrovert by watching extroverts around you and mimicking the ways they act and talk. Once you have an idea of what to do, try dedicating 15 minutes a day to being extroverted. For example, you can start with something small, like knocking on your neighbor’s door and introducing yourself, and build up to making conversation with a stranger at the grocery store. Keep in mind that it’s easier to talk to people when you already get along with them, so try joining a class or group of like-minded people where you can socialize. Additionally, try to say yes to invitations, even if they’re scary, since you may end up having more fun than you anticipate! To learn how to assert yourself in conversations, scroll down!
