That is impressive and I believe you, however I don't think exposure therapy is proven to work in all cases for everybody.

Sometimes introverts don't mind being introverted, and don't want to take courses on "how to be the most exciting guy in the room". They like their personality as it is. They might still push themselves to grow, but they choose to grow in the areas that they care about.
