How to be more sociable, fun, and active?

Ok, so yesterday i was at a carnival, and there was alot of school friends there, and i was hanging out with my friends who knew alot of them, but i didnt know alot of the people there. i saw some familiar faces, but i never said hi or anything because they were hanging out with other people i never met and i didnt want to seem weird and jump in and say hey. next time when stuff liek that happens i want to make more friends and be more active and sociable, but i dont know how to. Lets say i was at the same situation with a bunch of people i didnt know, but since my friends were talking to them and i didnt want to seem like a loaner, what should've i done?

The best way to be social is to have a really big smile on your face. Make yourself look open and friendly, and don't worry so much about trying to impress other people. If you want to say hi, just go up to people and say "hi, how are you?" You should be able to tell if people are willing to talk to you by their responses. Make sure you are comfortable in this situation, if you are not people will sense it and it will make them uncomfortable. Don't worry about feeling weird, it's natural to feel nervous when you meet new people. Good luck!

If so, just, find a time to jump in, if its a casual conversation. the people i meet with my friends are really crazy, and they make new friends everyday. so they're relatively open to new experiences.

Reply:Simply say hi. Walk around with everyone in the group and when they say stuff, be nice, laugh, and say stuff back. You might be able to become good friends with them one day..by simply saying Hi.
