How to be more friendly and social
   If you tend to be introverted or shy, it can feel uncomfortable to put yourself out there socially. 36    You can make the extra effort to be more friendly and open to others, while still keeping your own personality.
     37  The key lo connecting to other people is showing interest in them. When you’re truly interested in someone else's thoughts, feelings, experiences, stories, and opinions,  it shows — and they’ll like you for it. You'll make far more friends by showing your interest rather than trying to get people interested in you.
   Be genuine.  38  If you're just pretending to listen or care, others will pick up on it. Rather than promoting greater connection , your efforts will likely have the opposite effect. No one likes to be manipulated(摆布). If you're not genuinely interested in the other person, then stop trying to connect.
   Pay attention.  39  By paying close attention to what they say and how they interact, you'll quickly get to know them.  40  Don't ignore the details , such as remembering someone's preferences, the stories they've told you , and what's going on in their life.
   A. Faking takes talent.
   B. Little things go a long way.
   C. Focus on others , not yourself.
   D. Getting to know them is the key.
   E. Showing interest in others can't be faked.
   F. Make an effort to truly listen to the other person.
   G. But you don't have to be naturally outgoing or the life of the party lo make new friends.
