How to Be a Fun Person to Hang out With?
Steps:
Be confident. Let's face it--the basis for pretty much everything in our lives is confidence. We can avoid it and deny it all we want, but the truth is, believing in yourself, trusting yourself, recognizing self-worth, and leading a pro-active lifestyle are things that are required for almost any goal we wish to achieve, big or small. Before you even begin trying to become a fun person, you have to believe you can be a fun person, and believe that you are a wonderful, beautiful person as well. Nothing is wrong with believing in yourself, and it's looked up to but never looked down on. Most confident people have insecurities.
Make yourself vulnerable. Don't be afraid to take chances. Nobody who holds back is considered fun, TRUST ME. Think about the fun people you know--they take chances on a regular basis, both socially as well as in their life. This is hard at first and takes practice. But the more you do it the sooner it will just become a part of you.
Be spontaneous. Don't think too much, regardless of what anyone tells you. Just do it! Follow your heart! Don't over analyze things and don't spend a ton of time wondering what could go wrong, what someone else in your position would say, how you should react to what they're going to say next, etc. LOSE YOURSELF!! Forget about who may be listening or what people might think--just have fun. Don't worry about your surroundings or how you look what comes next. Being spontaneous is required, and though it's not easy at first, it ALWAYS pays off.
Be open-minded. Don't have a certain mindset or game plan in your head that if interrupted or morphed in any way will completely ruin everything. Realize that everyone changes their opinion often. It's just a part of life. Also, although a person needs standards, if your standards are too high and ridiculously strict, nobody will ever want to spend time with you. It's better to lean towards the loose than the uptight.
SMILE and LAUGH. A smile is a curve that can set things straight. It's easier than frowning--it takes roughly 62 muscles to frown while you only use 17 to smile. Even if you don't feel like smiling, putting on a grin radiates approachability, positivity, and friendliness. For the girls out there: guys are turned on and loosened up by laughs and smiles. Of course, don't overdo it and be annoying. But looking the part of a fun is half the battle, and it's not even really much of a battle because once you get the hang of it, smiling just becomes a reflex, and an attractive one at that. :)
Get physical. Use positive body language (keep your hands from touching and sit with your arms and legs fairly open, sit up straight, etc.) and don't be afraid to move around to show that you are laid-back and not uptight. For example, change the position your sitting in or cross and uncross your legs every now and then. Don't be antsy. Just don't be all tight and unapproachable.
