How do you connect to the people around you?

I just joined a Uni.. and i m finding it really hard connecting with anyone here.. and sitting alone for lunch breaks isn't really fun..How do you connect to the people around you?
The good old who, what, when, where and why. Ask questions and show people you are interested. for example you may ask... ';where did you get those shoes?'; and simply engage in a conversation from there. Always ask a little information but also share a little information yourself. For example you might share back ';I love that store, I got a really good sale there last week on a watch.'; If you want to keep the conversation going pose another question at the end like ';Do you go often?'; or ';Have you been there lately?';





It will take some practice getting comfortable with comunication skills, but over time you will learn interest in common wiht others and have more and more to talk about. Just remember, If your shy...they don't know that! Go right upto somebody and start a no reason conversation, you won't look crazy! If anything people will think your friendly and nice. Make sure when your sitting alone you look approachable too. You may be giving off a vibe that you don't want to be bothered with out even knowing it! Smile, make room for other people to sit, don't have all your junk around at the table, don't stick your face in a book or text on your phone, say hi if somebody walks past and you make eye contact... This will all help a lot!





Good luck!





Oh and one more important reminder... when asking questions don't get too personal! You don't want people to think your nosey!! lol and don't give up more information then needed untill you really get to know somebody cause ya could scare people away by revealing too much.How do you connect to the people around you?
think of what you are willing to risk more- your individuality or your popularity. someone will come along sooner or later- have you seen anyone else sit alone at lunch? it doesnt have to be a girl- it can be a guy. there is at least one person out there that is looking for a friend just like you- keep that in mind because it's true.
After the classes try to talk to the fellows next to you, on the right and on the left.


So by time they get familar with you and maintain especially the communication between the last class before lunch time. So that the communication lasts until you arrive at the table. So you can seat yourself with your fellow.
when u r in the classes try to talk with someone...talk regarding the subjects and the projects..as u talk if they like ur attitude..then friendship will grow...when someone talks smile and talk..b happy dont b sad...u will have new friends i m sure..i m not there otherwise i would have not let u seat alone..i would have made u smile a lot...! best of luck...
