You cannot completely change your personality, but once you are decided to become more sociable, you can start by setting some simple goals in social situations; then gradually work towards more difficult ones. You don't need to force yourself through these goals.



For example, you can start by smiling at people you have seen before and find them quite pleasant-looking, or you don't know them but have enjoyed a short chat with them before.



Then gradually work towards the eventual goal of being the first person to start the ball rolling in a group/party situation. In between, there should be heaps of intermediate goals for you to set and work on.What are some effective ways to completely change your personality?
try doing it slowly, building a good social network requires time, and due to your nature you'll end up only with the right kind of ppl...only good friends, share interests (my experience)

care about others feelings, call them once a week, or whatever makes you comfortable...youll see you grow addicted to them in time :D

if you do it slowly you wont beforcing, get to know your friends friends

best of luck!
I don't know if you can totally change your personality - but if you want to be more social, maybe start by saying hi to a few people you work with or associate with. Ask how their day is, how their weekend was, etc. Slowly but surely a few conversations will develop. If you put interest in others, you will appear to be more social and they will appreciate your attempt at breaking out of your shell and will also appreciate the fact that you are taking an interest in them.



Take baby steps and maybe choose one or two people and have coffee with them. You'll be surprised at how much your comfort level will increase.



I'm not good socially in large groups, but I'm starting to be more social with smaller ones by doing what I told you to.



If you force yourself in a social situation, you're withdrawal will only deepen I think. So start small with things you are comfortable with.
Why would you want to change your personality completely? That is part of who you are!

Don't get caught up along the way, with not knowing who you are anymore.

Are you trying to please others? Or are you trying to be happy? Believe me, changing who you are completely to me is not such a good idea if you don't know what you are doing.

I believe in adjustments in some parts of our personalities if we feel the need to for whatever reasons.

Be yourself when socializing; humor, being positve, honesty, intelligence, and being real are all factors that contribute to social intellect.

Hope this helps!
you CANNOT change your personality, LOL, you can only modify your actions! If you're an innate INNIE or OUTIE, then well that's how you're biologically wired, say you're an innie (introvert) and you want to learn to socialize more well, you're still going to be drained from the interaction, but at least you're making an attempt, which is fine. If you're an OUTTIE )extrovert) and you want to learn how to be comfortable being by yourself, or do more INTROSPECTION (which is waht INNIES do) then you'll take the time more to do so, but it still drains you, you can only change you actions, not your personlity. there's nothing wrong with you, unless you have a mood disorder or an anxiety disorder or schizophrenia
first you have to have your life in order and love yourself. Loving yourself is the most important thing that you do. Be yourself when you go out, show people your heart and the rest will follow.

I wish you the best of luck in your journey through life.
There is the inscape, what is going on inside of you and the outscape, what is going on, on the outside of you. Your inscape can change the outscape and the outscape your inscape.

So if you are totally involved with something, an interest or a hobby. Your socialising will become almost incidental. At first you may have to force yourself to walk up to someone. giving that person a greeting and looking straight into their eyes. When you ask, how are you doing? Mean it.



Your enjoyment will come, because people will find you absorbing and interesting. Even if at times you are so absorbed that you seem a little preoccupied.To understand your inscape, you need to think in terms of a landscpe. It has a fixed patern that you can remember. Our personalities are like that. I'm not saying that once you have planned your night out, down to the ninth degree. That you should then go off and do the opposite. But this does give some of the gist of where i am going with this.



You will always be you, but certain tweaks can give you a whole new dimension. Be sincere, encouraging and kind to others. Although it is often used derogatively, we are in worlds of our own. So let your special inner worldliness be your place. At first you will have to force yourself. But you will realise it's worth it,when you see the tonic it has given your outer worldliness. Your immediate social circle and beyond.
ACT!

Act at first impulse.

Say your tghouts right at the moment.

Smile!

Be happy!

Be positive!
