10 Tips For Attracting New People Into Your Life 10個吸引新朋友進入你生命中的小撇步
There is nothing better than meeting new
people who fill us with energy and show us another perspective of life. Today
we at Bright Side would like to share 10 simple tips that will help you attract
new friends.
沒有比認識新朋友讓我們充滿活力並展現出對生活不同的看法還更棒的事了，今天Bright Side要分享10個幫助你吸引新朋友的簡單小撇步。
1. The movie is in your head 電影只在你的腦海中
Yes, we often think that we might not be
nice or funny enough to others. The good news is that it’s all in your head —
people are more receptive than you think.
沒錯，我們常常會認為對別人來說我們可能不夠友善或有趣，好消息是這些都只存在在你的腦海中，人們的接受度比你想的還要更高。
2. It’s a comedy, not a horror movie 這是一部喜劇，不是恐怖電影。
Meeting new people can often be a
terrifying experience. The more you try to be fun and a good conversationalist,
the less you will be, so always be yourself.
認識新朋友常常是一個可怕的經驗，你越試著成為一個有趣且健談的人，你就會越不像，所以做自己就好。
3. Take a small step 跨出小小的一步
If you do not yet have enough confidence to
meet many people, start with the simple: talk to someone new at work to train
your social skills.
如果你還沒有足夠的信心去認識許多人，就從簡單的開始：和你的職場新同仁講話來訓練你的社交技能。
4. You have to go out! 你必須走出去！
Okay. You are ready to socialize. Now where
are the new people? You definitely have to go out — join courses, workshops,
groups, and activities that interest you and where you can find interesting
people.
好的，你準備好要進行社交活動了，現在新朋友們在哪裡？你必須走出去，參加你有興趣且能找到有趣朋友的課程、工作坊、團隊和活動。
5. Make the first move 做出第一個行動
Once you feel ready to make new friends, you can jump into the ring. Use
these psychological tricks that help in communicating and building good
relationships.
當你覺得你準備好要交新朋友了，踏進這個交友圈，利用這些心理學的技巧來幫助你溝通和建立好的關係。
6. He who judges, loses
Sometimes you may have preconceptions of
who and what your new friends should be. However, people that don’t seem to
have anything in common with you at first can turn out to be the most
interesting people you will ever meet in your life. Give them a chance.
有時候你可能會對別人和你的新朋友應該要是什麼樣子有事先形成的觀念，但是那些一開始看起來跟你沒有共同點的人，可能會成為你人生中從未遇過的最有趣的人，給他們一次機會。
7. Show interest 展現出興趣
Don’t forget that we are all divas. Learn
to listen before speaking — other people want to receive attention and be heard
as much as you do. Show that you’re interested to get to know them.
不要忘記我們都是女主角，學會在說話之前先聆聽，其他人也像你一樣會想要得到注意且被聆聽，展現出你有興趣要了解他們的樣子。
8. Spend time together 花時間在一起
A new friendship is forged by sharing time.
Dinners, parties, cinemas, and other places where you can have a good time are
the best choice.
一段新的友誼是靠共享時間來建立的，晚餐、派對、電影院和其他可以度過美好時光的地點都是最佳選擇。
9. Keep in touch 保持聯繫
Sometimes it is difficult to stay in touch
with our friends. However, it is the only way to maintain a friendship. Use the
media you prefer (Internet, phone, etc.) to watch what is going on in their
life.
有時候很難與我們的朋友保持聯繫，但是這是維持友誼的唯一方法，利用你比較偏好的媒介（網路、電話等）來追蹤他們的生活。
10. Be a good friend. 做一個很棒的朋友
Help and support your friends, and let them
know that they can count on you.
幫助並支持你的朋友，並讓他們知道他們能依靠你。
