In my experience, you can fake a change, but actually emboding it is not possible. I.e. you can learn to become extrovert, but you won’t enjoy it, it will require a lot of effort from you (as everything that is forced) and you’ll revert to your natural self anyway. All in all, it’s better to find how to leverage one’s strengths instead of trying to become someone else.

Now I feel pretty comfortable presenting to a bigger group and it became my "default" – if I wanted to supress it, I'd have to actively pay attention.
