To my understanding, I can initiate connection to and download from people who have their ports open without any issues even when my ports are not open. But can I also seed to those people?

In other words, when I have 100% of the file, will my torrent client (qBittorrent) actively initiate connection to people with open ports who want to download from me, but couldn’t otherwise connect to me, because my ports are not open? This way, when I initiate the connection, the two way data transfer should work and the person should be able to download from me.
