Finding friends is easier than it sounds. Sociability plays a big role, but it's much easier to become cheerful and talkative with strangers. Making conversations, attending social events, studying body language can help even the most uncommunicative person get closer to people and find friends.
Make conversations with strangers
So, paradoxically, but true - the more you get to know strangers, the easier it is to become a friend to someone and let the same person into your life. Through constant communication with strangers, you can become more open. They know nothing about you, and you know nothing about them. It's easier for you to strike up a conversation, and opinions about each other are built from scratch, so past failures are absolutely not important.
Where to get communication? In the queue at the supermarket, in transport, at the pedestrian crossing. Anything that unites you now with another person can become a topic for exchange of views and communication. A few phrases, a joke, reciprocal remarks - it can be anything. Even if the conversation lasts one minute, it will not be superfluous.
Social activities
Exhibitions, parties, celebrations, concerts, scientific conferences, master classes and so on, where other people will be, are an excellent source for finding acquaintances, communication, friends. Learn to say yes to yourself when planning to go out. Take it as a rule - if you decide, then you go. And no laziness!
Pay attention to these types of social events:
· Organizations of interest. For example, a fan meeting of a little-known social group, a favorite blogger, gathering groups to visit quest rooms.
· Participation in charity events. Help in the preparation of events, real help in deed not only unite, but also give unforgettable emotions, teach to communicate, love, understand and listen, and these are important postulates of friendship.
· Excursions and tours. Today travel companies offer a lot of ready-made products - these are tours. When traveling, it's easy to find like-minded people and friends when people are united by one path. The main thing is the availability of money and time for travel.
Language of the body
If they don't talk to you much, if they don't trust you, don't open up, you may be squeezed. Think about it. Body language helps relieve these tensions, and people love the emotions that are visible. It is not necessary to pour out your soul for show, it is enough just to be alive, energetic, emotional.
Don't cross your arms. This is perceived as secrecy and a desire to hide from others.
Do not take long strides, try to maintain your posture, smile more. Remember - even laughing for no reason is a sign of happiness, not … foolishness. Positive and happy people understand this, others criticize. But are you looking for those who are in the first group?
Be friendly, positive, learn to spend time happily on your own, do not communicate with angry people who endlessly criticize you. And don't forget to say hello, whether it's real communication or online correspondence.
