Eat more fruits and vegetables (no butter) and think in terms of making people feel better about themselves. Don't think about you first. Tell them what you think they would be good at, encourage them (but NOT specifically - you should be a model). More like... "I know you will work it out, you're always good at that sort of thing" People don't want to feel like everyone around them is smarter, sexier, etc - so this might mean not exercising your strong qualities. Just be sweet.
Don't make it look like you are trying, just make yourself nice to be around..... don't hang around too long and smile a lot.
When you leave them wanting more, you have reached your goal.
Don't forget the fruits and vegetables.

Well in what ways are you mean to people?
Like not sharing? Not caring about feelings? Rude?
What you should do is realize that you have to deal with people no matter what. Your whole life is going to have something to do with people and it's good to know that you have friends or just have a reputation for being nice, then people will be nice to you too, ideally. Look at it in terms of Good Karma and Bad Karma....being nice to people gives you Good Karma and good things will happen for you, ideally, and do something mean and get Bad Karma where bad things happen.
That's how I look at it, I hope I can help.

You can be nicer to people by treating them as you would like to be treated. Also, try putting yourself in their position...try to see things from their point of view.
You'll be much happier within yourself if you treat others with kindness and respect. Good luck on your quest!!!

Being nice is a good enough. When people start complementing you on this you will have achieved your Q.
Its nice to have your tribe in this world.

Do things that make you happy and you will find people there to socialize with. Find something that interests you and you will find people to socialize with as well!

On a simple level, you can:
1. smile more
2. initiate conversation
3. avoid negative comments ("if you can't say something nice...")
4. share (buy someone a coffee)
5. compliment people
6. offer positive advice (only if they ask for it)
**********************************************************************
7. find happiness in yourself first (I recommend Mark Kingwell, "Better Living: From Plato to Prozac"

Treat people the way that you would want to be treated; not the way that they treat you.
