As you know there are two types of people: extrovert and introvert. Extroverted people are the people that are outgoing and have a lot of self-esteem. They tend to like spending time with people and love to meet with a lot of new people as well. So they can go and make friends almost everywhere they go. On the other hand, introverted people don’t have much energy to spend and meet new people, sometimes they get tired just meeting with new people or party. So introverted people have a hard time making new friend in a new place. What I’m saying is not that they can’t make any friends or anything, it’s just that introverted people can’t make new friends that easily as extroverted people.

I myself am also an introvert. Sometimes I can’t even talk to people for more than one hour. I just get so tired and want to go back to my room. I will choose to work on my task over going to the party with my friends and meet with people that I don’t know. Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy parties with my friends but not with a large number of people. Only five of ten of them already use up all my energy.

First of all, is the partner that you’re gonna choose to talk to. You can choose whoever you want to talk to. For example, at one party you walk in and your interest in one particular person. The best advice is just to go and try to make conversation with them. It is not that big of a deal to talk with someone that catches your attention. It is easier to talk to people that catch your attention then to the one that you do not have an interest in.

The second secret is to start the conversation by asking them for help like “ where did you get that drink from? Or can you help me with something?”. By asking them for help you will make it easy for you to start the conversation after that you can tell your name or be thankful for what he/she did.

For the third part, you can start asking questions about their interests. It can be sport, art, drama, song and others etc. There will be some common interest between you and them and try to make some jokes with them, but that joke has to be the joke that they can understand or it will be useless.

Four one you can start asking about his/her hobby. If there any hobby that you are interested in you can ask them more about those hobbies. On the other hand if there any common hobby for you and then you also can talk about it as well. This way you can keep your conversation with them longer.

Last but not least the final conversation should be the goodbye conversation. If you feel good talking to them you should ask for their contact information so you can talk again sometime. For the tip just ask them like “ Are you on any social media? or Is there any way that I can contact you?”. Then you can tell them that you are having fun talking with them.
So it was all of my techniques to talk to people that you meet for the first time and make friends with them. I hope that you can make as many friends as possible after you read this article. I’m looking forward to seeing your feedback if you get to talk to new people and make them your friends. I will be happy if you tell me your story.
