Basic Social Tips

Socializing is something difficult and anxiety causing for those of us who are not social people.  However, even basement nerds can transform themselves into social people with some basic work on their personality.  Here are my best tips to become a social person-

1.  Fix Any Glaring Issues-  If you have bad hygiene or a shitty wardrobe fix that.  People tend to put you into categeroies based on your first impression.  So stop wearing Comic book t-Shirts or anything thats too abnormal.  If you’re a guy pick up GQ magazine and get some tips from that.  This is especially important for girls, if you want to be liked you have look pretty or at the very least presentable.

If you are obsese or painfully skinny hit the gym and fix it.  This goes for both genders.   This is something people delude themselves on.  Don’t think you look “fine” when you’re 20 pounds overweight.  If you have a belly, you need to work on your fitness.

2. Learn Basic Conversation Skills- Its important to have basic conversation skills.  You must be able to switch topics quickly and keep the conversation going.   A good tip is to find a keyword in which sentance from which you can bounce to another topic.  Don’t milk a topic for all its worth but keep the conversation moving along quickly.  If you can do this you start to vibe with a person and they instantly consider you a source of good emotions and a cool person.

3.  Go Out and Make an Effort to Be Social-  You must practice your socializing in the real world and not with fellow World of Warcraft denizens.  Join a sports team, a volunteer group, or simply head up to the local bar and start a conversation with a stranger.  You have to make attempts to be a social person to improve your socializing skills.   Spend more time doing social activities with other people and you’ll become a more socially intelligent person.
