Introverted is part of your identity. If you changed that, you might have turned on pilot, but turned off the next guy. I'm outgoing/introverted. My GF is, too. She likes that I "get" that when we go to a party she can talk to a dozen people for a bit but then needs breaks to recharge! My "intermediate girlfriend" I initially met at a (pre-COVID) party, because four of us introverts all chose the same natural place to recharge.
It's a much better feeling when someone says "Next" when you're being yourself and just not right for them, than to act like something you're not, and be Nexted when the real you may have clicked with them. If you couldn't tell, I'm a strong advocate for writing up-front dating profiles and being authentic when dating. Which, of course, didn't preclude my car and home being cleaner than usual, lol. I tried to be myself on my better days on first dates, not like I look after driving 14 hours and too much caffeine.
