Question

How do I make myself more outgoing?

Answer 1

You cannot really make yourself more 'outgoing', per se, but you can try to find a good circle of friends to start. If fitting in is an issue, try to find a crowd of people that you can modestly fit in with by just simply being yourself; those kinds of friendships tend to last longer and just seem more satisfactory. After that you can work on social skills such as communication, compromise, planning, general socializing, humor, speaking out in groups, being a 'leader/follower', etc.

And then from there you will be able to expand your horizions and socialize with other crowds. But by then you would probably have grown to appreciate your primary circle of friends :)

Answer 2

Try to make a lot of friends and enjoy the moment with your friend then you will noticed yourself that you become more outgoing already...

Answer 3

practice. if you're shy, practice only; if you're an introvert, you'll likely always need to be away from people to "recharge".

Answer 4

alcohol

Answer 5

You should talk to people you wouldn't usually talk to, you'll make a lot of friends doing that, finding people who have the same interests as you will give you some of your closest friends.

Answer 6

Step out of your comfort zone. Start slowly. At a party if you usually stand in the corner or sit on the couch waiting for someone to approach you, then do the opposite. Go introduce yourself to people you don't know. Hold your head up high and walk with confidence. The way you stand and hold yourself actually has a lot to do with how you feel about yourself. Remember force yourself to do the opposite of what you would normally do in a social scene. (obviously not things like getting drunk, stripping, or sleeping with anyone who you meet) You know what I mean!!!  Have Fun, it'll show!  

Answer 7

smile alot, it is contagious. People  want to be around people that are happy and always smiling!
