Are you struggling to interact with different people? Do you find it challenging in your whole life? You are not alone in this case because there are many of us. Most likely, it is the introverted people who struggle a lot in interacting and I am one of those introvert. Fortunately, I was able to cope up from this thing and I want you overcome this situation as well.

To interact means to communicate to the people around you. There are many ways to interact with other people. Positive social interactions has a big impact to our whole being. It increases our cognitive ability. It gives us good mental health. It makes us easygoing and positive in life too. In fact, recent studies found that being socially active in interaction means you are less likely to suffer from depression and anxiety.

Do not be afraid to approach people

This is the first step that you must do. You shouldn't be afraid to approach people. Let go of the things that's making you embarrassed and talk to different people. It will be difficult in the start especially when you do not interact to anyone as often. You must beat the fear in order to succeed from this. Once you overcome the fear to approach people, it will be easier for you to start the communication may it be your topic or not.

Avoid social isolation

Since the pandemic began, we have been told to isolate ourselves. But now that is slowly diminishing, it's time to avoid social isolation. When you have learned to isolate yourself for such a very long time, it will be difficult and harder for you to interact with different people. You must find the way to beat it. Go out, mingle and attend some social activities where you will be meeting different people on the same day.

Attend some social activities/gatherings

If you do not know how and where to interact with different people then you must attend some social gatherings or activities. It could be birthday celebrations, wedding events, family reunion, community gatherings and so on. You can also attend band concerts and even parties all you want. This will totally put an end to your fear of interacting with people. You will see people doesn't mind about you in the first place.

Do not think about how others view you

This is one of the biggest reason as to why some people develop a fear in interacting with different people, because they are afraid of what others might think of them. You have to find the way to break this notion. You have to realized that everyone viewed us differently, some positively while some negatively. If you have learned to ignore the thoughts of others about you, it won't matter to you anymore. Pay less attention and have more confidence to talk with different people around you.

Think of it as an opportunity to learn or teach

Interacting is not only interacting. We sometimes learn from the people we met along the way. We learn from the stories of others, experience of others and a lot of things in life. Sometimes we are also capable to teach people in life. So everytime you will learn to interact, think about these two beautiful reasons.

Social interactions create positivity in our lives. Just like the saying "no man is an island," you simply cannot stand alone without the help of others. This is why we need to interact with different people because we cannot survive being alone in this world. Having social connectedness minimize stress and enhances mental wellness. Being socially active is not difficult as you think. You just have to try to build confidence and trust that you are not bad at communicating with other people.
