Psychedelics did it for me, I was looking for fun but as an unintended consequence I became much more extrovert.
Of course, don't actually do hard drugs without medical supervision. You are more likely to end up worse off. A counter anecdote, a friend of mine who was really extroverted is now pretty shy and nervous in social interactions after suffering a few psychotic episodes during one of our drug binges.
- systemsignal 5y agoI’m curious how did psychedelics made you more extroverted? i.e was it less internal monologue, more energy, etc
- DeWilde 5y agoAfter the experience I was more open to interacting to people. The difference between avoiding eye contact and just saying hi to someone can be huge. Instead of just passing by someone I'd stop and talk to them--sometimes for hours. At first I was still pretty awkward but after time and just talking to people I'm one of the most sociable people in my circle. And it is a wide circle. So in short my first reaction to meeting someone wasn't avoidance but instead to interact with them.
