How to become a social person

This is a fantastic list. I knew a man who was severely anti-social. So he decided to just start talkint to random people on the streets, in bars, place of business and so on. He's actually overcome it by doing some of the step listed above. He also used the internet to vent his frustrations and so on and he said that worked as well.

Socialize to other people. You can socialize in the internet if you want.

Especially since internet socializing is the easiest form of socialization. I think we can all use a little internet socializing once in a while.

when you meet people, have them talk to them about themselves and they will love the conversation. and look interested even if it's about makeup

Here is what I found.

You need an opening when talking to people. First you can ask they, are you always in "such and such" city? and they'll say. Yes or NO. Then ask why they are here, then you will find out a lot of information to chat about and get the converstaion going.

usually it's about the job, family, etc. then you can see what's the value of that personl, and asking more proactive questions along the conversation.

Here is another tips for talking to people. Remember FORMHD.
it stand for
F - Family
O - Occupation
R - Recreation
M - Money
H - Health
D - Dream

and try to find the common points with people. U move here because of your job, ME TOO. oh, your whole family moving here with you . ME TOO. then you'll find the converation become more interest and enjoyable.

People like people who like themselves.

One good rule: Being interested in others makes you more interesting than trying to be interesting yourself.

It also help if you are an nervous in social environments to fully examine what negative thoughts you associate with yourself and communicating with others that hold you back.

This is very helpful for me. I could always work more and more on my social skills. You just have to get out there and socialize!

Thanks for the great lists, I like the number, indeed sharuing thoughts and ideas is the best way to interact and connect others.

I think all the tools available for social interaction on the internet are terrific, and offer a great way for people to connect and communicate with.

However, there's nothing better than a conversation, face to face, with another human being.

It's easy to say things in an email or tweet (or whatever) that you'd never say to a persons face. The presence of that person in front of you is a deeper and more meaningful connect.

Here's 5 tips to become more sociable.

1) Extend An Invite.

Don't wait around for people to invite you out. When you feel like going out, call up your friends and invite them to go on an adventure or at least try that new restaurant in town. There's nothing wrong with making the first move.

2) Join A Community.

Mingle with new people. Join a cooking club in your neighborhood or perhaps the student council if you're in school.

By being active in your community, you pave the way for new friends and therefore a better social life.

3) Give Pleasant And Sincere Compliments.

Can you please others by sincerely saying good things about them? People who can make honest praises often find themselves making new friends and getting invited to all sorts of different social gatherings.

They're often regarded as good company, likeable and someone who will make a good addition to the dinner party. If you're not very good with words, then take this opportunity to improve your conversation skills.

4) Don't Alienate Yourself.

Even if you don't really know anybody in the room, don't keep it to yourself. Find people who are also alone and strike up a conversation.

If you can't find it in yourself to make the first move, then at least hang out someplace where people can easily approach you. At a party, try the buffet table. People always find reasons to talk to you there.

5) Be Outgoing Yourself.

There's no simpler way to get a social life than to attract it yourself. Stop thinking about how sad it is that you're home alone on a Saturday night. Instead, be excited about what the evening might bring.

Be interested in other people and try to be as outgoing as you can. The energy you emit will attract the same energy associated with having a wonderful social life.

I think you should definitely add something about making sure these new people you talk to are not via the internet. It is important to exercise social activities offline especially, as there is no hiding. Being social is all about fearlessly expressing who you are. Offline is the only way to become more comfortable with this. ESPECIALLY since most of us are paving a path of making a living online.

Great list, thanks. In a party or gathering, I look for someone who may feel left out, or awkward. By helping others feel better I feel better myself.

I love this topic. Great share thanks.

I did a video blog about this last summer and I thought it would be an appropriate share here:


P.S... Around the 0:43 mark of this video my voice cracks and I sound like an opera singer... so feel free to make fun

Challenging list for an introvert. Just reading some of the suggestions make me recoil in trepidation.

That was a huge list, thanks for it. Now I increase learning, and I'm sure I'm able to add up my connections not only in the virtual world but for the physical as well.

Awesome list! Great tips here to be socialize and network with people.

For the introvert among us...

Schedule some rejuvenation time.

Social interaction exhausts us. Don't give up being social, just don't forfeit the recuperation.
