How does one who’s very shy become an extrovert?

I’m a SUPER shy person, I would love to be a social butterfly but I don’t know how. I’m a very awkward person and I hate it

make yourself miserably uncomfortable by putting yourself out there and dealing with people on a daily basis. You will learn a lot.

@TwiddlerofThumbs yes like that people suck and it's better at home

lol @RemovedUsername679448 they do, but if you are an extrovert you keep trying until you find people who suit you. If you’re an introvert maybe one will be lucky enough to find a few they don’t hate.

@TwiddlerofThumbs the worst are work conferences where you have to make small talk with strangers...i'd rather just get room service and watch HBO lol

I don’t mind those actually. I just pretend to be someone else( in my head) and do things that I would never do. Such as, talk to people. Pretend to give a damn. Solicit opinions of people I think are idiots. I ask questions that I already know the answers to and pretend to be interested in their reply. @RemovedUsername679448
