I tend to be the quiet type....and I wish I was more
of an extrovert than an introvert....Can I change that?
Do I have to push myself to be more social?.....or
just accept the fact that its part of my personality......

Stop and think about yourself and just concrete on finding people who are fun and honest. If you don't talk much at first they'll understand and after a while they won't be able to shut you up. Bottom line look at the people not yourself. Bottom Line you are who you are and don't change that for some *** who may want you to fit their mold. Good Luck

The situation will dictate whether you need to be more social. I, like you, tend to be shy in groups or in situations where I do not know the other person. It's okay to be shy. The only times that you need to be more outgoing are job interviews, business situations (if you have direct client contact), and company functions. As for the latter, you can still be shy in that context if you bring a significant other or other close friend and spend the majority of the time engaged in conversation with that person. Ultimately, you will just be known as the quiet person and pretty much left alone. Good luck!

Hmm are you insecure? It doesn't really matter anyway. If you like who you are then don't care what others think of you. What you could do to be more social is make new friends and if they aren't intersting or keep you excited then find new ones- or you could get involved in activities or things that involve you and your hobby. You could meet alot of new people by participating in all kinds of stuff. You don't need to push yourself to be more social- it will come and you know what? It's fine not to be the most social person in the world, nobody is to some extent. Really. Even the people with the most friends can feel lonely at times or unsatisfied but all you really have to do is accept who you are and things will come to you. Hope it helps!!

Hey, it is FINE to be quiet. Don't say 'introverted' as it has bad connotations. Some people are warriors ("extroverts") and other people are advisors ("introverts") - just learn more about yourself and what your limits are. Sometimes stretching the limits are good for you, but if you do it too much, too often, you will wear yourself out.
Read that webpage, take the quiz, borrow the book from the library - it's very good. Take care.

That's fine how you are. There are 2 types of people. Those who enter a room and say, "Here I am." and those who say ,
"There you are."
A very simple way to make socializing easier is not to try to compete with the extroverts and talkers, but to learn how to ask questions of others. They will then proceed to talk about themselves and marvel at how interesting you are.
