1
Take it Easy
Understand that people around you are no different and are the same as you are. They probably act in a different manner and have habits that are different than the ones that you have but that is something normal and it should not be keeping you from mixing into the crowd. This is an important understanding that will lead you to better interaction in social circles. -
2
See the Trends
There are various trends going on around you. See what the latest trends are in clothing. Also, keep in view how others who are more outgoing carrying themselves. Try to follow them to some degree as per your comfort level. As you are able to communicate better and see improvement in the way you are handling yourself in social gatherings, start moving out of your comfort zone and be bolder than before. The more you are willing to communicate with others, the better it is. -
3
Try to Speak Out
You do not necessarily need to speak everything that is on your mind as even most extroverts do not do that but be willing to express more feelings than you have been doing previously. There are common things that you can discuss with others. It will make you feel better and also get more people into your circle. -
4
Be Active in Discussions
Look for discussions on topics that you are at home with. Discuss them with others and be willing to express your insight and opinions on the matter. This will help you in becoming more expressive and you will be able to improve your overall social skills in the process. You can later be a part of a discussion on matters that you are not very well acquainted with. This will get you going.
