One of the best parts of life is friends. However making friend can sometimes be tough, especially if you are an introvert. You’re reserved, you love your alone time and that’s perfectly alright; but having a few good friends may not be such a bad idea. In fact, friends make life easier to get by to be honest. So, if you are an introvert who is looking to step out of your comfort zone, here are 6 simple tips to help you do just that.
Talk more at work/class
Whether it’s about today’s weather or how biriyani is the best thing ever, just try and initiate more conversations with people.
Find common ground
Read a book that’s in right now or watch Game of Thrones. It’s easier to relate to people when you are into things which are trending.
Get active on social media
We are not asking you to post things every second, just like and comment on other peoples’ stuff to show them that you are interested to know them better.
Show up to hangouts
Introverts often try to find excuses to ditch plans; how about you try to show up in one for a change?
Learn a skill
Art lessons, cooking classes or even the gym; learn anything that will require you to constantly interact with other people.
Be open about it
Being an introvert is actually pretty common. You’ll be surprised if you knew how many seemingly extroverts are actually introverts in nature. If you are open about it, chances are you’ll run across someone who has made the transition you’re trying to make. They’ll more than happily help you out.
