How can i be more friendly, sociable?? how to interact more with people, without feeling shy?

thank you for answering!How can i be more friendly, sociable?? how to interact more with people, without feeling shy?
You'll find that you can approach people and most are pretty friendly. Of course I live in Virginia Beach, Va and people are pretty friendly here.



Joining clubs are one way. Groups that have similar interests as you. This is a pretty good way to get to know someone who will have similar interests as you and could end up growing into something more.



I am in a wheelchair and I have found that I can pretty much approach anyone and talk to them.



Chatrooms are also a good place to go to learn how to talk to people. You'll find that people are just like you. They want to know other people.



There are always the exception to the rules. Whatever you do, don't worry about those people. Just stick with those who respond to you favorably and you'll be just fine.How can i be more friendly, sociable?? how to interact more with people, without feeling shy?
Get pissed.
I don't know, but if you get the answer please tell me what it is.
Assume theyre all morons because they probably are and then you'll stop being self concious.
i think you just have to talk to people more often,even when your at the shop or out getting petrol,just make small talk and it gets easier.
Maybe take up a hobby that encourages more interaction with others. I recommend drinking...
just get to know them well because if you feel you know them you wont feel unconfortable with that person my advice is to get to know them and be open to the people so they get to know you too.

GOOD LUCK

focus on asking people about themselves. People love to talk about themselves - you won't have to think what to say once they get talking about themselves! Princess Diana was brilliant at small talk so you could take a few leaves out of her book - focus on the person like they are the only one in the room, give them your full attention, dont be scared to look into their eyes. Talk about things like TV, children, sport, pets,food, or travel to get started. have a few questions stored in your mind for times when you have to think of something to say to break the silence - ';how long have you been waiting';, ';how did you get here tonight';, ';the traffic on the freeway was bad wasn't it';, ';you look cold';, ';you look tired have you had a long day';, or a statement like ';this reminds me of that movie such and such';. (you make up your own list, these are just weak examples but do work) Be approachable and open - this can be learned even for those who are shy. Another good trick is to go into a room and pretend to yourself that you are the confident person and everyone else is shy and its your job to get them to open up....You'd be amazed how this change in thinking can get you being social and the life of the party.
Find an activity where you are skilled or adept and use that as your base for interaction. For example, if you are a good bowler, join a bowling league at least you will have one thing guaranteed in common with the others there and hopefuly that can boost your confidence and get other conversations started.
I don't know. I'm shy too.



Best idea is to keep putting yourself in places that are out-of-your-comfort-zone and make yourself talk to different people. And be yourself.



Tell me if you figure it out. Later.
Have 12 ounces of beer (or 1 shot of liquor, or 5 ounces of wine) before any social event.
