Repeating someone’s name often really helps in making them feel better. It also makes remembering their name easier.
If you forget their name, no big deal, we’re grownups, just say “oooh, sorry, I forgot, what’s your name?” But you better remember it after you do that. ;)
Presuming everyone you meet is basically a nice and fun person is a good way to make friends. Or at least have fun with new acquaintances.
I’m proud of myself for being an extrovert this weekend. Haven’t done so well with the “party animal” role, but oh well. One at a time.

Most social blunders can be fixed by apologizing, laughing at yourself for about 3 seconds and then a) going on as nothing had happened, or b) changing the subject.

The worst that can happen is people not wanting to chat with you. Well, they’re going to have a boring life, but it’s their problem.

There’s a high probability that other people are as bored and in search of fun as you are. Invite them along to things you’ve already planned, and everybody wins.

This can be as simple as being the first to say hello, or saying “So, what are your plans for the weekend?”

i am constantly seen as a mellowed out individual.. meaning.. i dont say much. i smile and laugh. and speak when i feel the need. i see no problem with that. this goal isnt meant to turn me into some abnoxious overly hyped individual. i just want to share more.. more memories i suppose. i want to be the approacher not the one approached. how i will go about this i have no idea. ill make a few minor tweaks in honor of this weekend and we will see where that goes.
