Act Like You Are Very Social

Ever feel like people are more socially active than you? If yes, here are a few ways to act like you are very social.

Steps

  1. Try to talk more about stuff you saw online or something that your friend sent you this makes you seem more active and social. Be more knowledgeable about current topics and issues in the world that you can relate to with others. Become more aware of the world you live in.
  2. Be light and cheery, This makes people think that you are fun and outgoing. Don't be gloomy and act bored. Try to always smile at people and have a cheerful expression to communicate your feelings. To lighten the mood play some music by the latest artists, people will think you know what music is current. If they don't like the song play a different one that matches their personality.
  3. If people expect you to be on your iphone more than your computer, just type in "Sent from my iphone" at the bottom of the screen. However, the best way to be very social is to eliminate the art of technology or, at least, to a lesser degree. Being on your phone for the majority of the day takes away the opportunity to interact with the world. For example, when you are waiting in a checkout line, be more communicative. Start a conversation with the person next to you instead of having your face in an electronic device. In other words, interact with the world a bit more than usual.
  4. Act like you have better things to do. To give your friends, family, or whoever the idea that you are social, begin to document your life either through a social media site, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Take pictures of the party you attended and post them at a later time. When at the party, do not sit in a corner and be on your phone the whole time. Get into the mood of the party, take some selfies, videos, or group pics. Also, being social has more to it. Instead of only attending when invited, ask a couple of friends out for lunch or movie.
  5. Be yourself! Instead of pretending to be social, the best way for others to perceive this quality in you, is to actually become more social. If you are shy type of person, get out in the community. If you have trouble talking to people or a group, volunteer at a local museum, where you can interact with a diverse group of individuals. Preferably a museum with docent-lead tours. This will heighten your communication skills and make your sociable. That being said, always attempt to become a better you; not into someone you are not.

Tips

  • The more questions you ask, the more likely it is you will sustain a person's interest. If you only talk about yourself, what you like, and what you do, the conversation would be very one-sided and may bore people.
  • To help boost confidence, try to look in the mirror at least three times a day for at least two minutes at a time. Look at yourself in the eyes and just smile. Think about how beautiful or handsome you are, and if you would like, you could even practice talking to yourself.
  • Compliment people, so they'll feel like you're a friendly person who can easily get along with others. Don't go around saying mean things about other or spreading rumors.
  • Listen intently. You can show you are listening by using body language such as leaning slightly forward, nodding your head, making eye contact, and turning your body slightly towards them. That way, even if you aren't participating in a conversation directly, it looks like you are listening and comes off to other people as you are part of the conversation.
  • Smiling while texting can also make you appear to be more social. Not many people smile like that when they are talking to their mom or someone they have to talk to. But everyone knows friends can be more amusing, so smiling has people thinking that you're talking to someone interesting.
  • Body language is a huge deal when trying to be social. You need to know the basics to be approachable. Don't cross your arms across your chest and cross your legs, which signal that you're closed to conversation. Always have your body language open. Keep your shoulders back and your head up. This gives off a sense of open-mindedness and it also says you are open to conversation.
  • Don't try to hard to be something or someone you are not. People have their own problems, they aren't going to want to be around someone trying too hard to impress them because that just adds more for them to deal with, without any real reward of friendship.

Warnings

  • Do not act like you are better than anyone else.
  • Always respect others.
  • Do not overdo it.
