Is it ever TOO late to learn how to converse with another individual, enough to befriend them outside of work/school/other public locations.
On one end of the spectrum are the ESTJ's, and on the other end are the INFP's. The former are more likely to reach out to other people -- that's where they get their energy. The INFP's get their energy by staying at home, reading, watching TV, working in a garden, and so forth. That's where they recharge their batteries. The "E" stands for extravert, whereas the "I" stands for introvert.
Who knows? Maybe if you are somewhere in between, you may be more likely to reach out, ask a couple to out to eat, or something.
BTW, there are the occasional idiots who think introversion is a genetic disorder. These "snobs" are the uneducated and should be ignored.
It's only too late when you die. I think you communicate quite well. Have you ever read Texdav's posts? OMG!!!
Unless you have severe brain damage, your brain is capable of learning many new skills even into very old age.
If you are interested in developing your communication skills, the best thing you can do is practice and expect some failures along the way. People are shy out of fear of rejection. Once you accept the fact that rejection is normal (for example, even most famous people are not liked by a lot of people), you will find yourself opening up to others.
Could you explain your situation in more detail? What problems do you feel you are having in communicating?
