Hi. I'm not a doctor but I work in mental health. I wonder why you want to change your personality, what makes you actually dissatisfied with who you are.

We can't suddenly change. Changes can come about gradually, but they don't alter your deep down character. So you will probably always be quiet and laid back, and you wouldn't enjoy doing activities that more outgoing people do. However, to shift your position a little, try and find who or what interests you. Most of us have curiosity and I suspect that you have, to be contemplating changing yourself. Things really are happening around you which affect you, so maybe if you pay attention you will notice them. Get used to following up lines of enquiry and you will probably meet other people who are thinking about the same things. Good luck.
