Is It Possible?

Possible? Yes. Although, usually that’s a sign of a traumatic event.

Based on Jung's theory of personality and research on Myers-Briggs ones dominate type truly does not change. However as one ages they may begin to explore their opposite side of their preference. So one who is introverted may be more extroverted than before or if they preferred intuition and not a detailed person may become more detailed suggesting more of a sensing individual. Additionally, someone under heavy stress or conflict may completely change and become their exact opposite in type preference. Its referred as being in the grip. So an INTJ may appear to be more of an ESFP or some combo of those differences. However as one is left or right handed true preference likely will not change.

It happens all the time. Depression and other mental illness can, at least, make people temporarily introverted. Physical disability and PTSD have been known to cause that type of personality change as well.

i've seen it happen

Yes

And I think it takes a tragedy

{@bittersoul] 🤔do not know for certain but if somebody has had a personal trauma that has effected them mentally i suppose it could change your character to opposites

Well I don't know what extrovert or introverted is. But being a optimist I have to say yes it is possible. Cheers!

Idk. I'm an introvert. And for some reason people in my family hate introverts

Yes
And the reason for this is because we don't live in the same societal norms as they did back in Jung's day.
Back then the world was run largely by a patriarchy.
Men ran everything.
Whether rich or poor you had a station in life determined by your class and very rarely did that change.
This is why savvy parents of one class tried to marry their daughters off to men in a higher class.
Witness whatever the characters names in the movie Titanic were.

I suppose there are life experiences, or traumas significant enough to force an abrupt change.
Some people chose to withdraw at will, sometimes for the purpose of self reflection, or a spiritual journey.

The answer is yes. When I was in grad school, we learned ways that you could actually change your personality profile. It's not an easy process, but certainly can and has been done.

No. However many have misconceptions thinking introvert means someone who never wanna talk or socialize and extrovert means we never want space or alone time. That's entirely false.

Yea it is. I find with every year that passes I get a bit less extrovert. Even if it’s still an ambivert it’s a big change from my original extrovert being, but I’m happy about it tbh

Yes and I am living proof, it is also for the reverse to be true. I use to have plenty of friends and now I no longer have friends or talk to people and am truly a loner.

Yes. A traumatic brain injury or stroke will often change a person's personality for the rest of their life.

Yep! It happened to me after I got Covid twice and 4 vaccines. It completely changed my personality

Hanging out with arseholes if I were ever an extrovert would have made an introvert out of me, for sure!

i used to be pretty extroverted. now i take introversion to the extreme

It is most certainly possible. Usually it's a sign of grief, depression, and/or trauma.

Everybody has both aspects to their personality.

It can happen the other way round as well.

No, but you can sit in the house and watch more telly

I wanted to take a break from typing.

Sure. People change over time.

Do these stereotypes exist?

Aging can do that.

Yes,it's possible.

Trauma will do that

Of course.

Be yourself

Absolutely.

Very much so.

not really.

Yes

Yup

Yes

I’m seen previously outgoing people change and become withdrawn, reserved after a tragedy or traumatic event.

Time can change so much in a person’s life … especially the impact of grief or trauma

Yes. Anybody can become an introvert by the simple expedient of meeting all the wrong people.
