What mace your transition from shy extreme introvert to extrovert smoother?

For me it was that i internally was able to notice and push away paranoia and realizing introversion is selfishness and its basically refusig to share yourself and give to others. I want to be unselfish.

Apparently, you don't understand introversion and extroversion. We don't progress from one to the other. That would be like saying you progress from being a girl to being a boy. The key difference between introverts and extroverts is introverts thrive on structure, whereas extroverts feel limited or controlled by structure. Introverts may appear outgoing within their structure, but out of their structure they'll still be the wallflower. Introverts aren't selfish people. They are often more aware of multiple dimensions (understanding and appreciating subtleties) than extroverts (who tend to focus on their next extreme experience and have a hard time seeing anything that doesn't reach that threshold).

That makes no sense and is just abstract stuff.

@Js9etbr No more abstract than the conclusion you came up with, and it's based on facts, unlike your conclusion.

What facts? I can give an example to illustrate my point. I ask that you please do that too.
For example an introvert not sharing her thoughts or feelings about things and letting others guess and wonder about their mysteriousness. She would rather know information about others and herself but not give to others knowledge of herself that they may find useful. Simply by existing around others puts one in the spot of being of use to them and able to help them in any numerous ways. An extrovert makes himself available to others and welcomes others.
An introvert hides from others physically therefore how can others request their help?

@Js9etbr What you're addressing here is dysfunctional communication skills, and that can exist in either introverts or extroverts. It's like saying all cows have four legs. My dog has four legs. Therefore, my dog is a cow.

Still no example of the abstract rubbish you are so stringly fighting for. Yet all the smoke for something I eloquently explained. Which of course was a total waste f my energy
