  How to Go From Introvert to Extrovert
Even as an adult, my vision of an extrovert was an in-your-face salesperson who only wanted to build a shallow relationship with you so they could sell you something.
Expecting an introvert to learn to become an extrovert is akin to expecting a left handed person to become right handed, just because the majority of the population is right handed.
Extroverts recharge themselves by going to a party, and an introvert recharges themself by doing quiet activities, to let their brains rest.

The probable distribution of traits in a population is along a bell curve with the median in the center.
The extrovert responds, "What's to understand, you are a jerk, that's all." for it is the extrovert's nature to attack anything which makes him feel uncomfortable, and he is very uncomfortable with anything he perceives as different such as a need to understand why things are this way or that way.
Worse, he will then notice that the extrovert has not been listening to the ongoing conversation but only looking for some opportunity to interject a pointless comment with which he could seize the limelight from one who is discussing things far beyond the said extrovert's comprehension.

Churches that want to expand and attract men to their congregations should attract clergy who are extrovert, according to a report published in the UK on Monday.
It is extroverts who are energised by standing up in front of people, by taking a high profile on public occasions, by going out knocking on doors to meet new people and by being publicly recognised by others.
The report notes that churches are “puzzled” by the lack of men in the pews, but suggests that many men feel out of place in churches today and are “puzzled” by the role models presented by male clergy.

 "Encyclopedia of Mental Health: Shyness"
Although the majority of shy are introverted, shy extroverts are found in many behavioral settings.
Shy people have been found to use alcohol in an effort to relax socially, which may lead to abuse and to impaired social performance, although there is some evidence that suggests that socially phobic individuals drink more frequently, but consume less than others.
Based on conditioning and ethological models of social phobia, the hypothesis has been advanced that a second-order general factor taps a common predispositional core that is a risk factor for the development of all the anxiety disorders, although other explanations are plausible.

One of the things I enjoyed most was the physiological as opposed to psychological explanation of the difference between introverts and extroverts (or innies and outies as they are termed in the book).

 Carl Jung -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The result of his questionings was Psychological Types (volume 6 of the Collected Works), in which Jung outlines a framework within which psychological orientations can be identified.
The now much misunderstood terms ' ((psychology) a person concerned more with practical realities than with inner thoughts and feelings) extrovert' and ' ((psychology) a person who tends to shrink from social contacts and to become preoccupied with their own thoughts) introvert' derive from this work.
In Jung's original usage, the extrovert orientation finds meaning outside the self, in the surrounding world, whereas the introvert finds it within.
