Hi, I welcome everyone to my blog. This is my first publication here and I hope to make it interesting and for your reading pleasure. |![girl-6082561_640.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmedZq82BQ3J21zmC44L1yNAyySpPSGiSRme1qXsEqioZW/girl-6082561_640.png)[Source ](https://pixabay.com/vectors/girl-depression-anxiety-sad-6082561/) |- | Introverted Personality |-- Introverts are reserved people; they are quiet and people of few words; they derive staying alone and doing things on their own. They don't like mingling with crowds and are choosey when it comes to friendship or relationships; they aren't social as such and only have quite an insignificant number of friends. Some are not naturally introverts but became one as a result of fear of leaving their supposed comfort zones and lack of confidence in self-expression, and fear of being criticized. Introverts try so hard to avoid social gatherings or events not because they possess any form of negative energy or influence on others but because they are naturally not comfortable amidst a large group of people, instead, they derive comfort and strength from a small set of people of same interest and do things on their own. |Can An Introverted Personality Be Changed? |-- Our various personalities and temperaments are inborn; they are transmitted traits that are passed down to us from many generations behind and, hence, are very difficult to change, if not impossible. Nevertheless, one of the basic characteristics of living things is adaptability, this helps us to make some adjustments to mingle and thrive well. Who we are cannot change, and every one of us is born with different unparalleled temperaments or personalities; hence, if you feel uncomfortable with being an introvert, a deep reflection, time, and age will help you realize some other inherent personalities or temperaments that can be blended with your primary nature. |How to Change Introverted Personality |-- Changing one's natural characteristics is hard to come by, nearly impossible but as I said earlier, our adaptive nature can help us adjust and survive rather than entirely changing. These personalities are part of our components; they are transmitted and inherited and are what make us different and who we are. Whatever our personality trait is, it should be appreciated because we didn't make ourselves; we were born with it. Therefore, supposing you are an introvert, be proud of it because it makes a reserved person, a person of few words, a good listener, and a deep thinker. Notwithstanding, you can still make some adjustments to adapt and socialize, and to do this, the following are the gradual steps to take: First, thank goodness that you are who you are, appreciate nature for making you the way you are. While you may not be comfortable with your personality traits, many wish to be you. You can still adjust to socializing by engaging in social outings and involving in reasonable discussions. |![books-3669909_640.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV7STGkn6CE1ArMSyht5PZ1gTY8tuctxN5c58fL62N6V8/books-3669909_640.jpg)[Source](https://pixabay.com/photos/books-couple-reading-romance-3669909/) |-- It is a good thing to ponder on the things you should improve on to heighten your compatibility when you meet with people. For this, you need to start learning how to converse with the people around you; it helps in developing confidence before meeting with a bigger crowd. An introvert is a careful listener and this is one key that useful to impede pressure before speaking hence should be enhanced. Gradually get involved in interactions and other social activities to increase your confidence as your comfort level with people increases. Join small social clubs, classes, and groups that interest you; it contributes to enhancing the degree of your sociability. It is important to note that we are complementary to each other. Our personality trait complements that of another person to remove friction and frustration and keep the balance in existence. All the processes of adjustment stated above are a gradual process aimed at discovering the equilibrium that helps us adapt or fit in well instead of changing who nature made us.
