not so much parading your ideas, but finding venues to express them(social groups, public forums, relationships, etc.). finding a place to voice ideas and engage in discourse with other thinkers that are not necessarily of the same mind as you, but interested in active thinking. more so than boldness(although it does help in some situations, but may alienate that person as well) i would say communication skills are vastly important and useful. while it may appear that those with inhibitions to speaking out have little sway, at this point in human history a greater number of people have an opportunity to speak and communicate publicly than ever- (not necessarily ALWAYS the best thing) i've noticed that sometimes those speaking out have zero connection to my own reality or the reality which i perceive in the world.
you can't be someone else with your ideas(not that i'm assuming you were speaking literally) but your thoughts are the product of your exclusive life experience.
what if everything ever said in the entire history of a public world has been said by an extroverted person and exclusively expressed how that type of person perceives the world? what if the public "reality" is only the reality of those that contribute to it, when those that haven't felt it important to steal the stage/air time/page space are living a completely alternative experience? - catch 22, by definition, the public world will NEVER be that of the introverts. although i'd venture to say many artists come close through symbolic/indirect/interpretive forms of expression.
