IM SORRY I HAVEN'T UPLOADED IN SO LONG

I'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY AND FORGOT ABOUT THIS.

I'm not sure if I mentioned before, but I'm currently still in school. This is going to be hard to explain. I'm really confused right now. I play field hockey which is a team sport, and I recently got back from practice. My mom picked me up, and started going on at me as how I "have to be part of the team". She thinks I have a problem with anything involving social interaction. And she's always telling me this, but she doesn't make anything better. So for the first time, I told her that I'm a full on out introvert. I've always been very sure she is an extrovert. More specifically, an ENFJ. Whenever she lectures, you can't make her shut up, and she doesn't give you the chance to talk. She seems happy when she's around people, and I'm almost sure she hates being alone. While she was lecturing me, she told me, "I was just like you, I was introverted." And I just don't see it. Can an introvert go to extrovert? Or is she just a really sociable introvert? She claims she was super introverted, but became more sociable by studying journalism. It sounds reasonable, but I just can't see it in her. I can see her being shy, just not introverted the way I am. She says she doesn't want me to change, but wants to make socializing easier for me. I don't think she gets it. Or anything. It's not that hard for me to socialize, but whenever she's around she pressures me to be more outgoing, which makes me be the opposite. I'm super confused. I don't know how to feel. My mother suggested taking me to a life coach or something like that. Like I said have an issue. Am I doing something wrong? The only thing I want is for her to leave me alone so I can grow on my own. Does she want me to come out of my shell? Because if that's the case then I won't, and won't be able to. What are your thoughts on "life coaches"? Is that what you call them? Do you think introverts can become extroverts? I'm not sure what I should do. Of course I want to develop as a person, but I don't want her help in all honesty. I've been on my team for about three years now, and I'm becoming more comfortable with them as I spend time with them. I'm still very guarded and reserved, but I'm making progress on my own. Is there something that I should do about it?
