HOW TO SOCIALIZE, BE FUNNY AND MAKE FRIENDS

PART 3

11. Place importance on making social contacts.

The people who are considered popular may not be the sharpest tacks in the box, but they are making important contacts that may come in handy later in their lives. They have networks that may help them get decent jobs later. It is never too late to feel that being popular is important. If your work environment allows for it, host a party, organize a sports game, etc.

12. Love yourself.

It is difficult to like others when you do not appreciate yourself for who you are. Bootstrap yourself and work and play day to night until you feel good about yourself again. Try exercise to improve your self-esteem.

13. Be loyal.

Little things count: If you make an appointment, be on time. If you're in a group, show up early, and stay late (even if you don't have anything to say at the moment).

14. Be nice to others.

Always give compliments to those, but don't try too hard. If you are shy take a deep breath and risk it. You never know what might happen. Also crack a joke every once in a while. Again if you are shy, but inside crazy, let it out once in a while. Wear your hair up high and spin around, or dance, others will laugh, and find you fun and funny to be with.

15. It's easier to talk to people if you have shared an experience with them.

Clearly the friends you have at the moment predominantly talk about interesting things they did in the past.

16. Share interesting/silly ideas.
