Ways to "appear" more outgoing?

Question

Alot of people say I'm not approachable and seemed closed. Well the truth is, I'm VERY outgoing. I don't understand why I seem shy when I'm not. What are ways to "look" outgoing so people will feel able to approach me?

The reason im not asking ways to "be" outgoing is because I already am. I just want people to be comfortable around me is all :)

Answer 1

You may think you're outgoing while you're not....I thought I was a cheerful person until ppl started to make fun of me because of my straight face..I never thought I had a straight face until I smiled my usual smile on the mirror and found it WAS a straight face and fortunatly I got it corrected!!

about you just try to talk to ppl more but if you start acting like you're social believe me you will look horrible!!no offince..hope I helped

d**n ........my fingers

well' your posted pic is that of a puppy, perhaps it sends a wrong message to people. to me it says: woof woof.. no trespassing.. (as in: i'm hiding .. i don't want to be seen.. and i'm putting here my dog to keep you away)

Answer 3

Smile. Always smile. With a big crowd, big smile. One or two people, secretive cute smile. Look bright and colorful in your wardrobe and make up. If your emo or scene, thatsjust how it is. If your not try wearing brighter clothes and saying hi with a smile and nod. Or just smile and go back to what you were doing. Be aware of your body language and facial expressions. Body language: no arms crossed or leaning against the wall. Thats unapproachable. You obviosuly think youre cool so you won't care. thats what people will think. Simply have arms to side as much as possible indicating your openness or edge toward the people not away.

Good luck :)
