Being friendly or even seeming friendly is something that some find difficult and others find easier.
Friendliness is something that can come naturally to you or it can be something that can be worked on and practiced.
If you need to be extra friendly and charming to someone or at a sepecial event, this can help you to 'mingle' and netork with others and get you here you want to be.
The key to being friendly is to find something within you that lets you be natural with your friendliness, just like you can tell a fake from a long way away, so can other people.
It's better to be neutral than to be pretentious or put on a fake friendly face. Wherever you are, making friends couldn't be easier, if you master the techniques to interacting and sweet talking your way into someone's heart.
Step by Step
Smile. Smiling is one of the best tools you can use to be friendly and inviting; it will put you at ease.
Think the best of others, don’t be pessimistic if you want to be more friendly, people can tell fake from real just like you can so friendliness should come from within. Do not be over critical, we are all perfectly un-perfect so be comfortable with yourself and you’ll be more comfortable with others.
When having a conversation, listen and add value to the conversation, offer advice politely, talk about a funny anecdote and turn on the charm and be open unless you want people to stay away from you.
Use words that someone would understand if you’re speaking with someone who is not as well
versed as you such as students or others, nobody likes a show off, someone who is seen as intelligent but personable is very well liked.
Tips
Don’t be argumentative or too one sided, see the other side, be polite and humorous.
Don’t talk about heavy subjects, like religion, politics, or abortion, these should be resolved in a public forum of people who want to discuss this subject not in a setting where your aim is to be friendly.
