Soma, I've been doing the same since the beginning of this semester. It's alot of fun, but alot of energy. I wouldn't call it "hard work", but it does take a toll on me. I'm not trying to be 'fake' and stuff, but it takes work to listen to people, just talk and talk about random things, etc. This includes doing it with girls too. In fact, lately I've been 'cold' approaching lots of girls haha.
Sometimes I'm tempted to just fall back, sit at home and play computer games (like I used to). Being an introvert is when you truly can just enjoy your own company or just those of a few select good friends. There is a good balance between introversion and extroversion that I am seeking, but to become good at extroversion I must throw myself at the extreme end: like you said, practicing towards being a 'social butterfly'.
I think the rewards will be well worth it.
