I agree with this.
What an extrovert can do is be a role model of sorts for someone who is introverted and hasn't developed their social skills, to template what might be required. Ultimately, it isn't transforming them directly, but rather through building a desire to change themselves. If they are introverted, they might spend the time internally to work out what is required to interact with others :)
I do very well and have taught myself to be able to operate in those settings, but they tire me out. Eventually I need to be alone to gather my energy.
Do you ever get energy from social situations? For instance, I don't like large groups of random people, but I do get energy from small groups with good conversation. I like the depth of conversation, because it gives me content to reflect on when I am alone, that is outside of my own direct experience.
Yeah, I also get energy from small groups with good conversation, but only with certain people. I'm rather selective about the group.
Conversely, I think extroverted people can learn from introverted people - specifically, they can learn to appreciate the times where they're alone, rather than thinking of those times as "wasted" because they're not being spent with others (as I've heard from some people).
I agree strongly with this. I reckon that a lot of people, introverts included no longer appreciate alone time and instead spend it consuming something from a screen while alone. It is not "alone" with your thoughts, if filling the space with content.
