Did you know that just by writing a goal down, you become 42% more likely to reach that goal?
Challenge: Write down one small step you could take in your next social interaction. It should be something that feels exciting, not terrifying.
Check the comments below for inspiration. If someone writes something you like, let them know in the comments that they have your support.
Make eye contact with people a few second longer! Ooh it’s gonna be a tough one, it always makes me uncomfortable
Become more confident
Magnetize people around me
Make new friends
I want to have a bold conversation without feeling anxious or feeling awkward in my work space.
I want to contact an acquaintance and ask them for coffee. I have lots of acquaintances but no friends. I want to try and turn some of my acquaintances into friends.
– Maintain eye contact when talking to others
– Observe social cues during conversations
– Focus on the conversation instead on being on my head
– Enjoy conversations and not overthink about what I will say next
– Say whatever comes in my mind
– Share a little bit more about myself
– Share my thoughts and opinions
To engage during conversations with people who don’t know or with whom I am interacting for the first time
I want to be brave and work at the station next to that girl if I am given another opportunity to do so, and take advantage of that by talking to her some more than what I usually do, with confidence. I won’t beat myself up if I don’t, I’m real good to be doing that. 😉
I usually sound monotone when talking to others. I would like to practice putting emotion into my words, finding a way that doesn’t consume my energy.
I want to be able to approach and talk to a group next time in a social setting.
That’s a great goal. Its then up to the group to make sure they include you. If they don’t, move on to a group that will. I have tried this & felt bad when it didn’t work, but actually it’s a two-way exchange & we can’t make it work if they don’t include the new person. When I’m in a group I try & make sure everyone feels included, especially new people.
I want to make at least one fun comment or joke per converation to make people laugh.
I believe that’s a great goal. I think everyone could use a little humor in their life.
I want to be able to carry on a conversation without fear of feeling awkward in new social situations.
