People think that you were born with your personality and you're just stuck with it, but just because you've always been a certain way doesn't mean you have to stay that way. Olga Hazan, the author of Me, But Better, The Science and Promise of Personality Change. Can an introvert actually become an extrovert if they want to? Rather than permanently changing.
Learn the ability to try on this personality trait. Put on extraversions. Is there an age at which it's impossible to change our personality? Some people change more after they're 30. Different choices that we make can change us throughout our lives.
What's the difference between changing our habits and changing our personality traits? So you can actually fake it until you make it. Once you do your habits often enough, they will become part of your personality and it won't feel fake anymore. It'll feel like it's part of your identity.
