I really liked your post, especially comparison in the introvert/extrovert thinking:

>Notice the difference in narrative: > > “That person looks interesting, I wonder what their story is?” > “Maybe that person is interested in the same things as I am, I want to go find out.” > “People go out to socialize, maybe they’re just a little shy at first.” > “I noticed something interesting, but I don’t have anyone to tell. Maybe that person nearby feels the same way”.

I actually noticed something similar over time as I got more outgoing. I think that internal narrative is one of the most enjoyable indicators of becoming more extroverted.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I find the re-framing of thought patterns useful, even though I don't always remember to apply them.
