Anyone who managed to shift their personality from being an introvert to an extrovert?
Will keep this as short as possible. (Edit - I tried very hard, but it kept going on) I am 24f and i am an ambivert. All my life i have been an introvert, but somewhere i realized life is tough being an introvert so i have tried very very hard to socialize and talk and think of things to talk and make random conversations and initiate conversations along with observing how extroverts around me socialize. I am currently working and my personal life is a shitshow. I broke up with my boyfriend and to say that i am heartbroken and my chest physically aches sometimes is an understatement. On top of that someone was right when they said that when you live with your parents you save rent but pay with your mental health. I love my parents to the moon and back, but we do not see eye to eye in way too many things. When i was in college life was very different. Even when i was going through tough shit i had my 2-3 close friends always or there was always something to do and keep myself engaged in a manner that any heartbreak could only break me to a certain point. But now, i have no friends and the loneliness is literally eating me alive. All my college friends are in another state. All my school friends are abroad and i literally have no one here. I have very limited colleagues, just like maybe 5-6 and the only person closer to my age is 30. So no luck here. I am resorting to write this here because i don't know what to do anymore and how to make friends or socialize and all i can think of nowadays is how do some people have so many friends. I honestly feel envious. What should i do and what am i doing wrong? Also somewhere i have started feeling angry(?) at myself for being an introvert/ambivert. I do not want to do this to myself when my mind and body have been through so much and i want to cultivate positive thoughts instead of such negative thoughts because that is the least i can do to be grateful to myself. Delhi folks, what do you do to dal with loneliness? When i was in my college, i used to call my friends and go for rides till late night, or i used to go out somewhere to eat or attend events. Here i have no one to do any such thing with. I am seriously thinking of shifting to another place but there are many problems to that as of now. First being that with my current salary i don't think i will be able to afford a flat or Independent place, so my only options are going to be a hostel or PG. Secondly, I do not have a vehicle and since its been too long that i have touched one, i will need to stay with parents to use mom dads bike/scooty/car. If i shift, i will not be allowed to use them, and i really need to learn better riding through practice or everyday use because i consider knowing how to ride or drive very liberating. (don't ask why).Now thirdly, the main issues amongst all, my parents are going to lose it if i say i am shifting to another place in Delhi itself when i can just stay with them. For them its like breaking up the family, and god knows what i could be doing if i stay alone etc etc. I would not mind the first and third issue at all if the second one did not exist. Now not having the freedom to move around when staying with mom dad becomes difficult because i am anxious( like stomach churning) when i tell them that i am going somewhere. At this point, after multiple breakdowns, fights and rebellion, i am at a point that i tell them about the plan. Its not permission. My question being, how do you deal with loneliness that comes out of your personality probably being an ambivert, or someone who does and is able to have a lot of conversations with multiple people but nothing lasts for more than that moment? How do specially deal with a heartbreak being such a person? My ex is very social and has a lot of friends. So i do know and see that he is able to deal with this whole thing by hanging out with them, doing activities, and going on trips etc. On the other hand, life has started feeling empty and extremely painful at times for me. Almost every morning i wake up and cry in the washroom. Then before leaving when i take a shower i will be crying. Then sometimes in the metro. I have multiple times cried in my office washroom too. I just feel too sad man. This literally became a rant. For anyone who made it this far, Thank you. I would love to hear anything from another human at this point.2
