I hate being introverted I always overthink even the smallest interactions with strangers and at social gatherings i never have the courage to go up to ppl and talk. Also, id expect extroverted ppl to have better lives. They have more friends, they come off as nicer, they probably have more connections in terms of jobs and careers, and have a higher chance of meeting their significant other due to their outgoing personality.
How do I become someone like this? I have no problem talking to new people once they come up to me and initiate conversations.
I have a nice circle of friends but once I graduate high school I know that I will need to put myself out there. So far in life I have made all my friends through them talking to me first.
I'm also sorta traumatized ik its not a big deal but I've had so many awkward and cringe interactions with ppl even from years ago that still haunt me to this day.
