44 Tips That Socially Awkward 20-Somethings Should Use To Make More Friends

5. Don’t over commit, be casual. If no one reacts to your witty comment, drop it. If your advice is falling on deaf ears, drop it. Just roll with the punches yo. The harder you try, the easier it is for someone to tell that you are trying hard. Relaxed conversation is inviting and attractive for most people.

6. Ask questions rather than give input about your own life. Someone starts talking about their dog? Ask some questions. Don’t automatically go into a tirade about your dog. Letting someone else do the talking means you have to talk less, and questions make you more attentive.

7. Not reading people about how much personal space they need. If I’ve moved away from you more than twice…. back the fuck up and give me a bit more room.
