Being more outgoing takes a little bit of creativity. With your friends maybe you find out (if you dont already know) things that they like to do. For instance, lets say one of your friends likes to go bowling. Ask him/her if they would like to go do that on one weekend. It will make for great conversation and you will have fun. Bring your camera to take pictures. Go to the movie theatre, have a girls night out. If you dont have any money just a simple how was your day and let them know you want details good or bad. This will allow your friends to be more open to you and you will have more to talk about with them. You may have the chance to make someone's day brighter simply by talking. Hope it helps!

If you spend all your time worrying about what's the perfect thing to say, you'll find that it's harder thinking of something to talk about. Just say whatever's on your mind (as long as it isn't hurtful) and be open. Also, try to feel happy on the inside because people will see you as being positive and more approachable and they'll want to talk to you. Be really nice and try to say at least one thing to your friends everyday. Just don't worry about what to say. The best thing to do is observe what's going on around you. You'll be surprised at how many things you notice around the room if you just pay attention. Just make comments about whatever you see. Good luck [ Airie's advice column | Ask Airie A Question ]
