How not to be socially awkward

How to start a conversation

  • Make a small comment to get the other persons attention
  • an example of this would be:
  • “I like your shirt”
  • Ask them something that they would have to respond
  • If they respond and they seem interested, make another small comment
  • Keep them interested, and don’t make small talk
  • Repeat steps on someone else

How to make new friends

This is similar to making conversation.

  • How to find people to be friends with- use your current friends as ways to connect to other people, as they might have other friends.
  • Smile
  • Get to know them by making connections
  • Make sure to get their information so you see them again
  • Always act outgoing so they want to hang out with you and they know you care about them
  • Repeat these steps for a new person

How to make plans

Try to make plans in advance, like making reservations at a restaurant or getting tickets from a show or carnival. I know when I want to ask someone to hang out, I’m scared they wont respond or they say no. But never be afraid to ask someone out because then you’ll never get together and the friendship will probably fall apart since you never see each other. You also want to go places that both of you will enjoy and they are interested in.

The End

Now you know how not to be a awkward potato. Congratulations.
