I dont have any strong hatred towards anyone. I do respect everyone's comments and I listen to them, but if i dont know the person its highly unlikely i wont finish or start a conversation with them.

Some people are very private and don't like their private space invaded. Private people have a strong tendency to stand back and watch people before starting a conversation. You are who you are.

Perhaps you should become a pit bull person. Learn to train pit bulls. That way you don't have to answer them, just learn when to run away. After a month of that, perhaps you could appreciate other people.
Or else, read some great books about this subject (talking to strangers or friends and becoming a popular person).
I've read many books and apply their methods. It WORKS!!
You CAN get any response you want. Just learn communication techniques. It is more interesting than you think.
If you think reading about how to communicate with people is manipulative, just give it a try and then you can judge.

To start to be one, um...since I am one... I would say...for you to try to have it be like a game but tha makes it sound like cruel..but start out small and slow...
Say to yourself...ok today, I am going to start a conversation and really LISTEN and talk etc.. also EVERYDAY you have to ...pay a compliment to a stranger...at first start it with the elderly.. like say to an elderly woman... oh you look nice today.. and SMILE
just a kind word from someone is just what say a lonely senior citizen needs,
Ok, next I will finish a conversation and I will pay someone a compliment.... talk to a elderly gentleman say about the weather, or something...ak sports... be really nice... get it..
You will find that one smile and a HI to a stranger... a compliment and smile...everyday to a stanger one of the BEST things you can do to being your quest... to be a PEOPLE PERSON...
Good Luck my Friend.... Your on your way....
I do this everyday...the smile and compliment thing..it works..

I myself have never met a stranger, I am outgoing and genuinely pleased to meet anyone in any given situation. Learn to smile and speak as in say hello to every one you meet ask how they are feeling, this isn't as hard as you might think. You are a little shy you must get past this. if you are listening to people having a conversation and there is an opening, first excuse yourself and say might I add a different point of view, then say what you are going to say., be polite , be pleasant and above all be yourself.

First, let me say if you "know all" as your identity states, you would know the answer to your own question.
But seriously, the best way is to just be sure of yourself, confident in who you are, and comfortable with your own company. If YOU like YOU, other people will, too. In other words, don't try to impress people. Be yourself and generally people will come to you and you won't have to become a "people person." Stay open-minded and respect others' opinions and have discussions, not attitude contests.

You have to be genuinely interested in other people in order to be a people person. Not only honestly listening when they speak, but ask intelligent questions about their subject - not argumentative questions, that will only put them off. Save your more indepth discussions for friends and family who know you well.
They say that people won't always remember things that you did or things that you said, but they'll always remember how you made them feel. This is good advice to follow in your attempt to be a "people person."

just keep talking about things... maybe you'll find something in common with the person you're talking to and they will become more interesting to you and you may look forward to talking to them again and getting to know them. if you really just can't find anything in common with them even about many of your interests....let it go.... if you can't find anything enjoyable to talk about with them now, who says you will later? But it's only a matter of putting yourself out there. Don't shell out much of your buisness, more like what you're interested in, and how you feel about important topics in todays news. People won't come to you, so you need to play your part and keep up with them. This will give you more friends, and let you meet your new friends friends... therefore you'll only be making more friends. sometimes this can suck. But it's all up to you who you want to get to know and hang out with.

warm smile...friendly greeting...ask general questions, then you go from there. people can sense if you are interested in them or their replies by your body language and tone of voice. basically, it is a study in reciprocity. try to keep an open mind about things.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", If you follow this rule when dealing with people you will be fine.
