I know it'll seem strange a first but it does work pretty good.
Where I live, people are afraid of eachother, on the bus you look in your lap and dont even try to look up. Guess how uplifting it is when a nice guy or girl starts talking to you with a positive attitude, paying attention to you.
Pretend to care bout them, or actually do.
It took me long to get over this.. I was like "What?! People will think im stupid" or "This is stupid this wont ever work" because it's so simple.
I can talk to anyone I want. I suck at talking, seriously. I'm a very quiet person until I get to know someone, but the less you think about it the better it'll go.
I just wish people would come to me more often. |
I don't think people really need help on how to meet people so much as they need help on how to turn an acquaintance that you meet into a friendship.
I figure most people knows HOW to meet people (go out, do stuff, say hi, start a conversation). I think that where people get tripped up is that they think BEYOND that. What do they do AFTER they have that conversation?
