| I was in your place and slowly getting better where people actually say that they like interacting and talking with me. What really helped? 1. Meditation and specific one at that called - metta meditation. Most of the time issues lies with the fact that we as introverts feel unfulfilled and think something is wrong with us. But, there is nothing wrong with us. This meditation helps with that and makes you realize that you are fine as they way you are. 2. Tiny habits: One of the biggest problem for me was that I would wake up one day and barrel ahead trying to be another person. But the problem is you cannot change in a day. So, you try and try and eventually give up. Then I read about BJ Fogg's research:
https://www.tinyhabits.com/ And I took another route to thins. I wake up every day and take one thing and only one thing I want to do. Let's say "small talk". Then I think of a person I can try this on. So, I set an intention to "small talk" once I meet this person. And because I am aware of this intention I tend to see how they react. Most of the time it's pleasant surprise which makes me feel good and helps reinforce the habit. 3. The mandatory book: https://www.amazon.com/Charisma-Myth-Science-Personal-Magnet... It has lots of techniques. So, take it slow. It can take sometime before you see the changes. |
