How to better interact socially?

I feel embarassed to say this, but I'm really socially inactive. Idk, I'm just not the same person when I'm outside than when I'm with my family. When I'm with close friends or close family members, I'm really good to be around. But that character changes completely when I'm outside, interacting with other people. Outside, I'm leaning towards the shy side, not knowing what to say or screw up a conversation a lot of times.



how can I bring my cheerfulness with my family outside so that others would know the kind of person I really am?How to better interact socially?
Meaningless social interaction is way too overrated, and a lot of social interaction, especially around alcohol, is really pathetic. I鈥檒l bet you鈥檙e a really interesting person, and have a lot of interesting things to talk about. That why you have close family members and friends who like/love to have you around. But unfortunately, many people just can鈥檛 handle real solid conversations. And it THEIR loss. So don鈥檛 worry. Why not try this. When you鈥檙e in a social setting outside, don鈥檛 try to squeeze in into a conversation. Just start one with someone yourself. It may be difficult at first because of your shyness. But you could come out of that by working towards a goal 鈥?like starting up a conversation 3 times when you鈥檙e in a social gathering. You鈥檒l soon get the hang of it soon enough. In the meantime, you鈥檒l find good conversationalists/friends. You鈥檒l be surprised how easy it is to find someone who actually enjoys a real un-shallow person. Much blessings. And stay the way you are 鈥?not shallow like many!How to better interact socially?
Drink beer!
its all really a state of mind.

its only something you can do to help yourself.

i use to have the same problem.

you have to tell yourself not to be afraid of what people think.

if you just be yourself you would realize that people will like you for who you are, and you will be alot happier with yourself
Bring your cheerfulness with you! Don't leave it at home!

You'd be yourself then!

Be a good listener first so that you can be a good conversationalist too!

Lastly, imagine everyone else is family. Good Luck!
just breath in and out and just go for it! once u go and talk to them thrs no going back! so just go 4 it!
Listen 80% of the time, talk 20% of the time..People like you more when they're doing the talking, and it's easier on you.
be confident in who u are and what u offer when ur away from your family.. when ur confident in urself then others see it to and u become more approachable.. also just be urself at all times cuz being urself is important.
Bring yourself to get out more often. Eventually, you'll learn to stop overexaggerating your ';social errors';. It's all a matter of persistence. If you can't do this on your own, have one of your close friends drag you to a party or some other social event. Just be careful about what kind of parties you choose. You do NOT need alcohol or any other kind of illegal substances to feel more at ease in social situations.
