Message: [QUOTE="chxshire22, post: 128792, member: 201331"] i find it easy to mingle when i have the energy because of a few “hacks” - i genuinely try to find a reason to like them. i dont force myself to like them, if they’re assholes then theyre assholes. but if you already like them a little and act genuinely, people tend to like you back. and guess what? win-win. - when i act awkward, no one will remember it as often as i will. because no one really cares abt me that much. so i dont care too badly if i committed a faux pas. - act as if people want to hear me speak, unless they tell me otherwise implicitly or explicitly. no it doesnt mean just yap randomly but when it is my turn to speak i will do so without being mousey about it. - i am not a pick up artist and i despise those who claim to be. but a great opener ive found is “hey! how you doing :D” ask something surface level abt the other person and then see if they pick up the conversation from there. if they dont. dont push it, it’s fine. [automerge]1741792491[/automerge] i say this as a generally introverted person. introversion does not equal to being miserable. being miserable is a choice. you dont have to try to win over everybody. just have to be genuine and decent [/QUOTE]
