I am an intorvert by nature. So it had been difficult to socialize. Suggest me some simple tips to make me interesting so that people enjoy my company and conversations better. Its difficult for me to change myself drastically atonce.

well, change for the better.. some people think that its cool when you talk a lot but in fact an open mouth traps more flies.. if u want to change into an extrovert (the nice type) then learn that it is all in the set of mind.. feel good about yourself. join activities wherein you will get more chance to inetract with other people... example, join a youth organization.. first impressions last, dont go up to a person and start talking bout yourself.. the best conversationist is someone who listens... let the other person do the talking....and then say a little bout yourself.. i suggest dont say too much bout yourself, have a fine line between private and public details bout yourself.. know when to be silent...and think before you speak...dont force yourself on being the party guy, it will all come in due time.

It's difficult for me to give you good advice without having seen you interact with people, but here are some key things to make sure you're doing or not doing:

1.) Smile and make eye contact.
2.) Be confident, NOT cocky. Acting like you know everything
or are the best thing since sliced bread turns everyone off.
3.) NEVER make self-depricating jokes. It makes you look worse
than you realize.
4.) Be sincere. People can see right through it if you're saying
things just to be nice.
5.) Be interested. People like when you ask questions about
something you know they enjoy doing, like a hobby they have
for example.

Hey just be yourself man, that's all that counts. So what if your opinion or views are different than others, it just brings about good conversation. Don't be afraid to speak up about the way you feel. If you are being yourself a real and true individual, people will socialize and begin to enjoy your company.

Make yourself available and go to events. Go places where people don't know you, so that they can begin to know you. Also always be polite and speak to people, no matter what color, race, or origin.

Now you are the man!!!!

First of all, maybe you should try going to places you usually don't go to so that you are around the type of people that u would like to be friends with. If you are at the same type of social events as these people that gives you something to talk to them about. Also, don't take yourself too seriously. Let yourself be dorky or whatever you are. Most people can't resist someone who is courageous enough to be himself. Even the worst of nerds get respect for owning their nerdiness.

ohhh i was an introvert but then when i saw that it wasn't helping me and being shy didn't help me i began to express myself and become more social, this also helped my class work because i could loosen up and make wise a s s jokes with the teacher who absolutely loves me lol now i'm not shy i'm very outgoing, just be yourself, if you don't like yourself then find new things to try. find jokes and tell them to people, that will help you open up to people and they can see past your shyness, after you tell them a joke, and they laugh a little and they see that you can be funny and actually talk then they'll talk to you more and hang out with you more. when they start doing that more people will see you're a cool person, so open up, let it out, and enjoy what life brings ya. check ya later ♥

Easy!There is nothing people like more than to talk about themselves.Ask them where they are from,where are/were their grandparents from.Be sure to throw in where your heritage is from as well.If they might be into sports mention the head butting from World cup.With what is going on in the middle east at the moment,there is another topic.Rember,people dont know you are introverted,they dont know you at all so loosen up!

Don't label yourself as "introvert". Accept yourself and be true to
your own personality. Do you like yourself? You have to enjoy your own company first, before you can expect other people to do so.
Most people are thinking about themselves, anyway.

Start slowly. Listen and learn how others do it.
Don't come on too strong and remember what worked and what didn't. Sometimes finding a new group to hang with also helps.
