How to have a social life

Having an active social life and having friends around actually does make you healthier. Being more social means, you’re exposed to happier emotions. These happy emotions will create a cascade of triggers in your body that boosts your immune system.

Your social life shouldn’t be treated as a thing you do on the side, it should be seen as a priority in life. You need to work on your social life the same way you do with your professional career.

1.    Its time to say “Yes”

Stop saying “no” to socializing. While this is all very understandable, you have to realize that this is causing your social life some major harm. Along with the “reasons” why you decline social interactions, the more you decline social events, the more your mind will associate social interactions with negative thoughts.

2.    Blend In

If you can blend in smoothly, you can feel comfortable everywhere you go. This is how you avoid feeling “comfortable” isolating yourself. You can blend in by going with the flow of others or going along the mood of the room. If the atmosphere is positive, go along with that. If everybody is sharing funny stories and laughter is filling the room, share your own stories, and laugh. Be in sync with everybody and don’t cut the link.

3.    Start Conversation 

You can get a social life just by starting conversations. This is one of the main things you need to keep in mind if you want to build a  social life. You need to be proactive and start conversations yourself. You need to be able to muster up the courage to go up to other people and spark up a conversation with them.
