Lack of sociability can lead to isolation and unsociability. Some people find it easier to communicate live, but they are embarrassed to make new acquaintances via the Internet. At the same time, you can find many interesting interlocutors and like-minded people on social networks and various chats.
Correct installation
It doesn't matter if you want to get rid of isolation by starting with communication on the Internet, or finding virtual friends is your ultimate goal. To become more sociable, you need to get in the right mood. Do not think that others are evaluating you. Of course, on the world wide web you can meet with non-constructive criticism, but if you are afraid of it all the time, then there can be no talk of any kind of communication. Think about how much fun connecting with new people can bring you.
Don't think of all Internet users as enemies. Set yourself up for online meetings with interesting, positive, cheerful and friendly people. Believe me, there are such individuals on social networks or forums. Don't expect jokes and unpleasant comments, be more optimistic.
Work on your self-esteem. Consider why other people's opinions matter so much to you. You should not be guided by their assessment, take it too close to your heart. The main thing is that you like everything about yourself. Develop self-confidence. Then you will not react painfully to other people's attacks on you. Don't let the unflattering remarks affect your mood.
Think about the fact that you are of considerable value as an interlocutor. Remember your strengths, merits. Do not think that by taking the first step towards acquaintance, you are intruding. Don't forget how versatile, talented, interesting person you are.
Practice
It takes more practice to become an ace on the Internet. Use every opportunity to initiate a conversation with a stranger. You don't have to try to make friends right away. Keep the conversation soft. On a thematic forum, you can ask for advice - not from just someone, but right away from a group of people. Depending on who will answer you and how, you can judge how friendly the forum users are.
Communicate more with your friends on social networks. Learn to maintain relationships with those who live far away, or with whom it is not always possible to meet in real life. This is how you can make friends with former classmates or colleagues from the previous place of work. Feel free to compliment new photos of people you like.
It is worth noting that online conversation is different from speaking. Therefore, it is important to learn how to adapt to the desired epistolary genre. Read more books to successfully express your thoughts and feelings in writing. Then your messages will not be clumsy, you will feel more confident.
