00:00There's a reason why some people are introverts, and some people are extroverts.

00:04It's not just because of their upbringing.

00:06It's not just because of their environment.

00:08It's actually both.

00:09You see, personality is composed of two parts, nature and nurture.

00:14Nature refers to our genetic makeup, the traits that we're born with.

00:18Nurture refers to the environment that we're raised in, the people around us, the culture,

00:23the society.

00:24So when it comes to being an introvert or an extrovert, it's not one or the other.

00:28It's a combination of both.

00:30Some people are born with a predisposition to be more introverted or extroverted.

00:34But then there are also environmental factors that can influence our personality.

00:38For example, if you grow up in a very stimulating environment with lots of people around you,

00:43you're more likely to be an extrovert.

00:45If you grow up in a more calm and quiet environment, you're more likely to be an introvert.

00:50But here's the thing.

00:51You can't change your nature, but you can change your nurture.

00:54So if you want to become more extroverted, you can do it.

00:57It'll take some effort, but it's possible.
