What shoul I do in order to become a better sociable petson?

[NFYF]

I want to get some recommendation from all of you. I am an out standing student in class, but I am really bad at communication. I want to become more sociable than these days, I speak so little n rarely smile. Presently, I do concern toward my attitude because I actually know that being a nurse, besides providing health care, (s)he must have a good communication n be friendly , smile very often to every client.

Good day:

I'm both an introvert and a shy person at heart. What I've found that works for me over the years is small steps. Here are some ideas:

1. Start participating in your classes as much as you can participate.

As you participate more and more, you will feel more comfortable doing so.

2. If your school has a learning center / tutoring area, go there as often as you are able where it will not detract from key areas (getting reports done and the like). Often times I've found I can join people studying... sometimes it is mutually quiet, and other times we start some small talk that grows into deeper conversation (if it's around what we are studying, all the better).

3. If you have information to share, share it with your classmates and friends; do it consistently.

4. Try to get to class early, and say hello to your fellow classmates.

Over time, it will become easier.

Thank you.

I'm an introvert. Not shy by any means, just not very eager-beaver when it comes to meeting new people. Participate in class discussions, it'll help you learn material AND somewhat socialize with your classmates. Make an effort to say hello to your classmates. Ask them questions about the material. Smile at people you pass by walking around if you happen to catch their eye. Hold doors open for people. Say thank you to anyone who does the same for you. Tell the cashier hello, ask them how their day is. You don't have to go very deep in conversation at this point, but you can do those simple courtesy things. If there's a student center, go visit. You may find people in there to talk to.

The more you're around people and attempting to interact, the more it should start to feel natural and "normal" to you.
