Are you a social butterfly?
I have never in my life been much into socializing...even when I go to my bar, I sit there drinking and doing my word search. My word search is so relaxing for me!! One of my friends/coworkers is leaving us for Nevada and so we have been getting together a lot before she leaves. I have been talking to everyone more often, even the people at the bar. Its been a weird thing for me....but kind of nice too! Although a lot of drinking has been involved as well...that might be what is helping! lol So any Social Butterflies out there...im still not really a social butterfly but im okay with people talking at me more.

Most teachers have lots of activities where students socialize. They also work on socialization skills. Just like any other skill some students are better at it than others. If somebody can't read or write neatly, then they have to do additional practice outside of class. The same thing is true of socializing.
Board games used to be great way to get kids to socialize. Games where kids can see they start on a level playing field, have to protect their own pieces while respecting others, learning that cheating is unacceptable by the group as a whole, while fair play is desired. And most importantly, that you can play again so winning isn't everything and losing isn't so terrible. I preferred life, careers, trouble, sorry!, and later on monopoly and risk. The games where your success or failure is not determined by the other players is usually better for younger kids first. Maybe try hosting a board game meet up at your house, where she can invite kids she already likes (or wants to meet) and I guess invite their moms for like a 2 hour coffee/tea break as well so you're not creating an impromptu babysitting session. Unless you want to do that; after some success, like a 4 hr weekend gaming session that would give kids a longer play period. Just trying to think of how you can offer your kid social time that's more defined by you, tailored more for them, and easier for it to be a positive experience, leading to faster acceptance of rules and building self discipline. Fun lessons are easier to learn. Good luck mom
And to the OP, I'm both introvert and extrovert. The status changes on its own. It's a weird thing, im not someone who believes in astrology, especially since the signs' date ranges are no longer in their own constellations anymore; but I can't help but recognize the cliche behaviour patterns of being a cancer-Leo cusp. At any time I may be a lion or a crab, in their most stereotypical forms. It's just intriguing. And annoying 🎃🎃🎃🎃
I've always been this way. And that's okay.... *sniff*
Must be nice to not regret socially acceptable expeditions.
What if that chatty person is quiet?
Sounds like you think it's a learned behavior. I think people are as social as they are regardless of upbringing. "Acting social" isn't real socialness, so my point stands.
I knew it!
Well... your colourful, yet delicate, wings and your love of pollen/nectar gave you away
Would usually be happier staying home than going out, especially if it is evening time.
I've always been this way and even when I was younger, and single, I had to force myself to go out. More often, than not, I actually enjoyed myself when I got there but was always happy when I got back home.
