To me, its very interesting to think of
the possible connection between emotion and personality. When we
think of the two factors of personality being withdrawing into self
and expanding and manifesting into others, how does emotion fit into
the mechanics?
We might say that certain negative emotions towards others leads to the aversion of others, or that aversion of others leads to negative emotion (see: theory of emotion). The opposite is true of extroversion, following along with the powers of emotion.

Fear, hatred, anger, rejection,
sadness, all aimed at others, can all lead one into a greater introversion. Comfort/peace,
love, acceptance, and happiness, targeted at others can lead into a
greater extroversion.
This is just a simple idea of possible mechanical force connections. It may not be true or correct in all cases, as for example sadness coming from a dead relative might lead one to find comfort in the sympathy and understanding of others. This dual will of emotion is what I have called dualistic behaviors.
An applicable understanding of emotional triggers and introversion and extroversion can be found. Such triggers for extroversion is getting people together, including yourself, and experiencing something that causes some form of emotionally positivity. To become more introverted would thence require some form of positive emotion being by one's self, and aversion towards others.

The ideal or optimal form of these two
personality traits is a balance, health. Not to become over-come by
or indulgent in either, as one can increase their emotional
positivity if they live an extroverted and introverted life, instead
of just one.
