A tip that is my own, try to find common ground. I think this will make the conversation more easy going and not as awkward. Who knows, you may find out that you have more in common with them than you think! Finding common ground can definitely lead to more topics and may leave you with a new friend! Being an introvert is not a bad thing. People have tried to make me feel bad that I’m not a very social person and some have succeeded, others failed miserably. I prefer staying in and reading a book or listening to music, or spending time with my family than going out to party. It doesn’t seem fun to me at all.
Here’s an obvious tip, Do Not Let Anyone Pressure You To Do Anything You Don’t Want To Do Or Are Uncomfortable With! This is honestly the most important thing in my opinion. I think so many people are trying to fit into societies “rules” that they forget who they are, what they are about. Be yourself and the people that you like, they will accept you.
