I am humbly going to say that I am good at making friends. A simple conversation starter can do the trick. For me, I just say hi and give the sweetest smile. I wondered how you do it, guys. I am sure you have this conversation starter. Would you like to share some of them here? Image Credit: uhills.org

Usually I just smile to people and they are those who immediately try to start a conversation.

Sometimes a simple gesture of smiling can really start a conversation with others.

I agree. Like today, I saw a man with two puppies. I started to smile and ask about them. Then, we talked a lot about his cutesy fur puppies.

I really don’t know. I usually just smile automatically, and ask how they are.

Indeed. We can have a simple question, and everything starts with it.

If you can get a person talking about themselves, then they will think you are a great person! lol

Friendship starts with something, anything that connects two people together

You said it right. Humans can adjust and adapt to certain environments. Once we start it, we build good relationships with others.

I'm more shy offline than I am on. I norally just greet a person and let them decide if they want to converse.

I had developed into an ambivert as compared to being an introvert before. I must say that greeting them can make them feel special.

Recently I found myself trying to socialize with other moms from my daughter's school and I started with our common interest, which was the kids in my case. I think finding something others can relate with is always a good way to start a conversation.

@Shavkat Yes that happens too. In that case everyone just minds their own business and just basic conversations and greetings.

I agree with you. In my neighborhood, I cannot withstand talking with them. We really do not have common interest, but to no avail.
