Building a social circle is important as it can help you to live happier and healthier. There are some ways to build a social life, here's how:
The first of all the most obvious ones! Take care of your hygiene and personality, avoid looking cold or unapproachable, smile, stand up straight, etc. Probably, these are some of the basic things, but can go a long way in developing a relation when you meet new people.
Secondly, you need to learn the art of making a good conversation – The best way for having a good conversation is to learn about different people and their interests. Then, try to remember them and the next time you meet them, bring up their interests or stuff you know can make them laugh. If you are confused of what to talk, give the person a compliment, may be something like - “ I like your eyelashes” etc. It is important to recognize the right vibe during the conversation. For example, if someone seems to be happy, do not burden him by talking about funerals, skulls, blood, death and all the frightening things. Similarly, if someone seems sad, do not start talking about delightful moments of your life or any delightful stuff.
Another important thing is to be nice to everyone, even the people you could not give a toss about. Remember that sometimes, laughing at a joke or smiling at a smart remark of a person can help you to build a relation with that person. Do not make fun of someone and do not criticize anyone as that can make you unwanted in a social circle. You may join lots of clubs and sports where you will get a chance to meet new people, thereby expanding your social life.
Once you have got developed some friendships, keep in touch, and keep hanging out. Keep in touchwith friends through the Facebook, MSN, email, phone etc. Enjoy each others company and let the relation naturally develop and deepen. Obviously, show all the traits of a good friend: trustworthy, open, reliable, nice, etc.
If you want a social life, you have got to make it happen for yourself. Probably, it is a big mistake to passively wait for other people to do the work of befriending you. If it happens, its great, but do not count on it. If you want to build a social life, assume you'll have to put in all the effort. Always get in touch with your existing friends and at the same time take an initiative to meet new people and be friends with them.
