Be genuinely interested in people. You can learn tricks to appear social, but it will be fake. If you find yourself in places where you find it hard to talk to people, you're probably not that interested in talking to them anyway. It's ok if you don't. Seek out places and people which actually interest and excite you. You will know what to say (like you just did here). "If you have something to say, then say it. If not, enjoy the silence while it lasts. The noise will return soon enough. In the meantime, you're better off going out into the big, wide world, having some adventures and refilling your well. Trying to create when you don't feel like it is like making conversation for the sake of making conversation. It's not really connecting, it's just droning on like an old, drunken barfly." http://changethis.com/manifesto/6.HowToBeCreative/pdf/6.HowToBeCreative.pdf http://changethis.com/manifesto/6.HowToBeCreative/pdf/6.HowT...
