How To Make Friends Without The Anxiety

July 22, 2011 by: Zoey Grant

There are people who find it an uphill task getting to connect with other people. It has never been easy meeting up with a stranger and immediately sparking a conversation with them. Many, it seems, fear the disappointment of rejection.

It is lucky though that there is stuff you can do to cut down that anxiety that comes with meeting friends.

For starts, you have to find people with similarities to you. This means that your interests and theirs should be in tandem. If you are an avid book reader, you need to share experiences with people who also like to read books. Join a boo readers club.

Go internet savvy and start using websites to boost your chances of making friends. These are the in thing lately. Just be honest when you are posting details and photos on your profiles.

You may be a spots fanatic. If you like playing a certain sport, then you can use it as a common ground to meet new people. If you keenly follow a sport and want to learn it, then meet people who can teach you more.

For a fruitful search, do not be the kind of person who only want to meet a certain all round, unrealistically impressive person. You should have an open mind. Being open minded will make you not have to look too hard to find that friend. Do not be too stiff necked.

To let a friend know that you are at least interested, you should keep smiling and stay inquisitive about your pals’ interests. See where you have common ground. Keep things light and informal and a sense of humor will do.

Your honesty will normally be judged by how you talk and your first impressions. Eye contact during your first meeting is crucial. Do not keep darting your eyes off the person when talking about yourself. It is a red flag screaming “liar liar”.
