Recently I read an article on “Turning Stranger’s into Friends”. You can read the full article here http://tinybuddha.com/blog/11-ways-to-turn-strangers-into-friends/. It was quite interesting and I could relate to it a lot. The person who wrote it gave some obvious tips (and some not so obvious) on how to interact with people but for some it is hard, because they are not very social creatures, like myself. I have a lot of trouble starting conversations myself but if someone walks up and starts talking to me, then I’m not so scared to talk to them.

A tip that was given was discover their core passion. I think this is great. I think that if you try and figure out what the person you are talking to is passionate about, they will be more willing to talk to you! I personally could talk about my passion (animals) all day!

The tips that were given in this article were very insightful. it helped me this weekend when I went to a party and didn’t know anyone except the hostess! I left having some new friends that were very friendly and nice!

Thanks for reading!
