The thing is, some people are introverted by nature and there's nothing wrong with that. In extreme cases, it can impede living your life (social anxiety), in which case change is clearly desirable. Other than that.. well, it's okay to want to change and I'm not meaning to imply otherwise. But the question to ask is whether you think changing is going to make you a happier person. Are you doing this for yourself, or because it's what's expected of you?
Never change who you are for someone else. It's not worth it.

I'm doing it because I am tired of not being able to be the life of a party, or leading a group in conversation.
I'm tired of meeting new people, but not be able to start a conversation beyond something boring like what we study. I'm tired of having boring conversations that degenerate into informal interviews: "whats your name, whats your major, what year are you, how old are you, boring shstuff like that"
I'm doing it because in the future I wish to be a business manager, an executive, and a leader, and in order to do so, I need to learn those skills now.
Last but not least, alot of what we are talking about (being extroverted and social) helps to get the ladies
Weighing the pluses and minuses, this is something I wish to have; being introverted is something I can always fall back on in any case. Learning to be social is nothing but a plus, in my books.
