What can I do to be better?
Can you guys give me some tips on how to be better at friendships and maybe how to stay extroverted for a longer period of time? I feel like I am not good enough for anyone so I want to change that. :)

I'm an extrovert but I'm not a stereotypical extrovert who hangs out 24/7 and is never home so I can't help with the "staying extroverted" part I'm afraid.
And if you're an introvert like my boyfriend, you have to respect your personality and needs.
The not feeling good enough I can relate to. Many face their own self criticm that beats them down to the ground. I have days where I feel horrible about myself and days where I feel great.
Universally we all matter. But it's up to each and everyone of us to support that stance.
My best advice is hang out and date yourself, get comfortable with who you are. Don't make excuses for what you like or dislike. Respect your person and identity.
That way you will be less hurt if someone dislike you / reject you through out life.
See each chance at meeting people as an open book. A new story unfolds. What happens. You'll see. Embrace it. Live a little.
If it's strong anxiety in the way I reccommend therapy help. Some things are too difficult to deal with on your own.

Have you ever had your personality evaluated? It's a bit controversial these days but I think Myers Briggs does a pretty good job of it. There are numerous places you can get evaluated online. It's a free test and I think every place will tell you what you're strengths and weaknesses are and what type of people you hang out with best and blah blah blah. You end up leaving with like a manual to your personality and what percent of your personality is introvert versus extrovert etc etc judging versus intuition. All that stuff. The Myers Bridge philosophy is that there are only 16 different personality types but they vary in strength and degree
Like I said, there are many different sites they will do it and probably groups on Facebook and stuff like that they will do it also. My favorite one is called 16personalities.c o m. But close up the gaps where it says .com. I don't want to write it all down correctly there because this whole thing would blow up with their advertising and I'd come off looking like a shill or something

Set yourself some difficult but attainable goals and achieve them. You will gain confidence in yourself so you won't be so shy and retiring.
