Be the Center of Any Social Situation

This will give you instructions on how to become the center of any social situation, guaranteed!

Steps

  1. Develop a sense of humor. Go watch a comedy show such as Monty Python or something - whatever it takes to develop a sharp wit. Hang out with friends who can withstand and keep up the constant banter. Quick comebacks and hilarious comments on anything should become second nature.
  2. Be courteous to everyone around you. Even though making fun of people can attract some attention, it is not a good idea. All that goes around comes around. Instead, try to make fun of yourself with a funny story. Not only will this help people relate to you, it also gets them more interested in you and wanting to hear more.
  3. Have something interesting to say. Keep up on current events and make sure that you know what you are talking about. If you make a joke that's incorrect, or that is from years ago, you might not get as many laughs as you may want.
  4. Use gestures and speak with varying inflections. No one wants to listen to a monotonous voice. Sound interesting but not too interesting so that your friends will be suspicious or uncomfortable.
  5. Don't lecture. Keep the things you say interesting, funny, and not too long. You keep on yakking and you will be not be the center of attention.

Tips

  • Keep a smile on your face. This will convey the whole "joking" thing to people.
  • And if someone says something that hurts your feelings or something, come up with a snappy comment and act like it didn't because they will take you down if they think they have hurt you.

Warnings

  • DO NOT be afraid of being ignored, because sometimes you will be.
  • Be prepared to receive some insults and/or criticism directed your way. It should all be taken in good fun, sometimes it's best to just laugh them off.
