Is being shy keeping you from having more friends in your life? Can you imagine what it would be like to know how to make friends even if you are shy?

Well, the good news is that with a little bit of practice you can get started even today! And the good news is that once you learn how to make friends, it will become easier for you to do so in the future. So you get to overcome your shyness and meet some new people! Not a bad deal right?

The first thing to understand is that your shyness can end up being a real gift. Why? Because most of the time, people would rather talk than listen. It is human nature.

So if you want to learn how to make friends all you have to know is how to get people to talk to you. Now this is easy once you understand what people like to talk about the most. Themselves.

That's right, if you want to get people to talk to you just ask them about themselves.

Now, of course you are going to run into people who are more private and may be reluctant to do this. In this case, find out what they are interested in and get them to talk about it.

Ask how long they have been doing it; ask why they started and why they like it so much. Then just let them go and listen. Knowing how to make friends is all about being able to keep a good conversation going.

Get someone to talk about what they are interested in and you'll hardly have to talk at all. Pretty soon, they'll wonder the same thing about you. By then it ought to be easy to have your turn.

That said, let me give you a few tips on how to make friends by starting these kinds of conversations and keeping them going:

· Practice talking to people you don't know:

You can start small and work your way up. Make it a goal today to say hello to at least one person who you don't know. Do this for one week and then begin to also ask them "How are you today?" Once this becomes a habit, pick two people a day until you are saying this to everyone who you can. You will be surprised at how easy it becomes after some practice.

· Compliment them or ask for their advice

These are both powerful ways to earn someone's respect right away. Of course, you may not always be in a position to ask someone for advice. That's when you go for the compliment. Don't worry about what you are going to say next, the conversation may not go anywhere and that's OK. The point is that if you get into the habit of doing this that you are going to run into some people who will help move the conversation along.

These simple steps will make a world of difference; just imagine where you could be one year from now! So go ahead and work on putting them into practice. Soon you will learn that knowing how to make friends is something even shy people can learn.
