Your point?
You can’t change introverts into extroverts.
Amen...Thank you! Extroverts get their energy from others, and Introverts get their energy from being alone... therefore, Extroverts will suck the energy from any Introvert, who spends time with them! :)
In ALL his intro to psych classes and a lot of his English classes--he helped hundreds of introverts become more outgoing and confident socially.
The first day of class, he'd say that IF they were shy and wanted to remain shy--they needed to take a different prof.
He structured the seating in a horseshoe no more than 3 rows deep.
The first 20 minutes students filled out "attendance cards" which were 4 X 6" cards with 8-10 questions. The rest of the 20 min was Qx interacting with students regarding their responses to the questions. The questions were about the chapter of the text but mostly also about relationship stuff.
Qx always had the highest student eval scores. Students said his class was the only fun one; or the only worthwhile class; the only practical class etc.
NONE of the shy students in all those classes left with their shyness being such a dominant feature of their life as it had been at the beginning of the semester. Such students were freely asking questions and volunteering comments by the end of the semester.
In short, for 30+ years, Qx proved your assertions above very inaccurate.
