Tips for Managing Adult ADHD - HelpGuide.org

Disclaimer: You might hate some of them.The following 20 points are aspects I learned that are not worth it in the long term… even though some might be as attractive as gold at the start of the day.They are from my personal experiences in both career and livelihood…encompassing of all the crucial “not worth it” aspects that I could cautiously contemplate.I’ve thoroughly read most of the answers and did a little research on Google, mashed it up with my own knowledge and tada:1. Falling for “beautiful” peopleA few days ago I read an article where a famous YouTuber left the hottest weather reporter in the world so that he could spend for time to play competitive Call of Duty.Beauty helps, but what matters most in the long run is the inner beauty. If you only chase physical beauty, you will surely be left regretting.<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-cf699cde01b13142846db3b218c02d0b"/>(Yes this guy right here that I mentioned in the answer is the….”genius” YouTuber)2. Multi-taskingResearch has proven that we humans don’t really multi-task, we actually shift from one task to the other very quickly. The point? Even if it seems like more work is being done, you’re actually taking less information into your brain, which at the end of the day is not worth it.<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-0df433553e159da1ccedfbfb4b886a7b"/>(unless you’re Elon Musk…that is)3. Trading Time for Money<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-c0fddf4e3c3ad294ac18a2c75ad7d8f9"/>This one is especially true to those who have an entrepreneurial mindset or aspire to become an entrepreneur. You’re time is the most valuable asset and you will never get it back. NEVER. Let that sink in. Now take my case for an example okay? I am a freelance writer at Fiverr…this is the platform where I started and I essentially traded my time for money. I wrote ebooks for clients and got paid really less for it. But now that I have experience, I can write e-books and publish them myself. I advertise them myself. I spend my time on projects that will benefit me in the future and make me money on autopilot (passive income). See, I realized trading time for money (unless you’re just starting like I was) is just not worth it in the long term.4. Not taking the risk<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-09930d3d7461d511dc85dc6324bbc9dc"/>It was my first meeting in an organisation where I had a great idea and wanted to share it. Unfortunately, due to the anxiety I could not speak up (in front of many accomplished and exceptional people much older and experienced than me). I instantly regretted it as another guy uttered the same idea and everyone loved it. That could’ve been me. That might be you. it’s not worth keeping your hand down when your heart tells you to take the risk.5. Agreeing because society tells you toThis is especially true for Asians where we constantly hear phrases like “stop crying like a girl”. While you always can’t blame society, you can always disagree. You have your own opinion, you know what’s right and what’s wrong. Staying quiet and agreeing to everything will only decrease your self-esteem. Now, before you go around protesting on the roads wearing a mask and holding a sign that says “I can’t breathe with mask on” (yes an American woman actually did that), read and understand the 5th point.<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a4a2f5260b4143d063c94a47ec120911"/>Be as swag as this guy.PS: NO YOU’LL END UP IN JAIL!!!!6. Being stubborn because you “think” you’re right<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-99a69e83e51dcbd5060fbf7f2138fe75"/>When Jacob was a kid, his parents didn’t let him play Grand Theft Auto (you know the game where you killed people for fun) deeming it was too violent for his little mind. Jacob was infuriated stating that his parents were too outdated and conservative. He knew he was smarter and that gaming wasn’t bad. 18 years later, now Jacob doesn’t let his son play Call of Duty stating that its too violent, there’s too much blood and shooting people (in games) shouldn't be normalized. Now Jacob’s son is mad at his dad. Being adamant is just not worth it, because if Jacob had a better understanding, perhaps he could have come to a consensus with his son, negotiating and fixing specific times where he was allowed to play after scientifically proving whether or not FPS games actually affected the brain. I write this in length because, even if anti-mask supporters think they are right, the scientific community (and the community with common sense) disagrees with them. Stubbornness here isn't just worth it.<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-e4bb72e67038c8b5e724837bda3a96b6"/>7. Ignoring someone’s pain<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-946281c33783cd34306b2c148fe37462"/>I had a very peculiar junior in my school who almost everyone bullied. While playing football, he was always left out. I could relate, because when I had surgeries I was always left out from the team too. I offered him a spot and even though he didn’t play well, he gave it his best. 6 years later now he plays for a local club and I’m the only senior he knocks on a monthly basis. Every time I think about him, I feel good about myself. Ignoring someone’s pain eventually makes us unconsciously feel bad about ourselves, which is not worth it.8. Not letting goSometimes some relationships become toxic and the best thing that you can do for yourself is let that person go.<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-3af18c9be631e42efd6fc0a0ddfbf1cd"/>Consequently, sometimes we tend to live in the past, comparing all our present experiences to the past. For example, if a friend has betrayed you in the past, you might be resilient to make new friends thinking he or she will betray you. While you should be cautious, you have to remember that history doesn’t always repeat itself. If you compare everything to your past or the mistakes you made in the past, your future won’t change.9. Letting goConfused? Don’t be. You see, this one is for all those friends that we forgot along the way. You should cultivate all the relationships you ever make and never forget them just because you found someone or something better. If they did you wrong, sure leave them. But if someone helps you, never forget them. Reach out to them. Express your gratitude. Knock your college friends. Send that text to your friend who you never contacted on Facebook. What’s the worst that can happen? I say this because, just letting go of friends who haven’t done anything wrong to you is not worth it in the long run.<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a48c2f080a42e5673885a65333442a3e"/>It might not seem like much at first, but in the long run you could find yourself in a friendship as old as them.PS: Why’s Chandler always missing?10. Netflix<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-ce9b372f5b37208d120c6af672fcb174"/>Before you stop reading, hear me out. You see, I used to binge on Netflix all the time. But then I realized how much time it was consuming. Afterwards I pledged to watch Netflix only during meal times (3 times a day for 20 minutes, so basically 1 hour). It has drastically increased my productivity . At the end of the day, you’ll always have great movies and great shows but you won’t always have the time to watch all of it (Except for Avengers Endgame that shit is too awesome!)Interim: Wow I’m halfway there. If you’re still reading then you’re awesome! I can see below that many other people have just answered 5–10 points insisting that they are providing quality over quantity… but the question read “20”, so that’s what I’m giving you… trying my best to deliver both quality and quantity.11. Gaming<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-9c29c0a6ceb5244d973151fb480f64d5"/>I’m not telling you to stop playing, no. I’m a daily consumer of everything EA, Riot Games, Rockstar Games and Tencent has to offer. However, I’m saying when you get addicted or get close to addiction, its just not worth it anymore. Just think about it, you play football outside as long as you have friends who play with you. So sure, play online games with your friends (we need that break) but when everyone leaves don’t find yourself in the training grounds or in arcade matches (Unless you are or want to become a professional E-sports player, then play as much as you want)12.Social Media<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-508d66e0e9e6b6dc41586a1b49a1da67"/>I’ll keep this short as most of you can already guess what I mean. Most of the time when you’re in social media all you see is how great people’s lives are (which really isn’t the case). This often deteriorates your self confidence. Not worth it.13. Believing Self-Help GurusMost of the Gurus on the internet (especially YouTube) are a scam (yeah we’ve all had those stupid ads). They repeat the same shit, tell you stuff that’s already one Google search away from you and ask you to pay for a $999 course (Not all though, some are actually helpful but no self-help course or book should cost anything close to that much). Watch a few motivational video on YouTube, but don’t get addicted to it. Watching TedTalks can be more educating and inspiring. Believing everything a self-help Guru on the internet is saying is not worth it, because most are just doing it for the cash.PS: If you believe in fake gurus, I suggest you watch videos of a YouTuber named Coffeezilla. He’s known for exposing famous fake gurus.14. Infidelity<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-17387cd25ab06b7b1a2f9df2f3ae0184"/>The problem with cheating or infidelity, from a purely self-regarding point of view, is that you are hurting and breaking something, and someone, in which you are deeply invested. Love is the most profound and valuable investment one can make in life. So how does cheating not also come at your expense?15. Smoking and Drinking Regularly<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a110bbdc526314b22e1fdb9ca96918e6"/>Don’t need to write much for this one. However, notice how I added “regularly” beside drinking. An occasional drink wont harm you much, but smoking and entering alcoholism surely will.16. Arguing with People<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-4866d27af97b421ccefeee36ab6e338e"/>Have you ever wanted to shoot yourself in the head after witnessing the stupidity and stubbornness of a particular person? Congratulations, because you (like me) have wasted your time. While a healthy debate is understandable, arguing for just for the sake of arguing is not worth it17. Procrastination<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-2e5bb29ac8e9d370092864be64b4d529"/>It’s when your 10 minute break stretches for hours that it becomes a problem. Procrastinating only makes things worse: it reduces your self confidence and deludes you into pressurizing yourself at the end.18. Looking Down on PeopleWould you date a person who speaks to you in a honey-coated manner but then screams at the waiter? Don’t be that person who looks down on individuals with less-income job… because<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-464b10e9efd1a969da303cb42c738d5b"/>At the end of the day, we are all humans and even many billionaires started off with odd jobs.19. Going to Bed Frustrated<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-5413c68761e5e199f6e12f00743fc64c"/>It doesn’t help you and you never want your last words to be something you’d regret. Just hammer out the issue and move on. Don’t sleep with problems when you can just solve them.20. Not Telling People You Love ThemI saved this for last because you never know when it might be the last time you’re talking to someone. You should tell your family and loved ones that you love them. Expressing love only reciprocates more love. Even if its just a friend, tell them you appreciate their existence. You have no idea how much it will help you…. and them. It’s not worth it to pile it all up inside.<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-fdf63779ad2f65a5cd8ee74476dc6f44"/>BONUS: 21. Not Starting Your Online Business<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-4d51b84d64374c73d1ef3f0c2eec5136"/>This one’s coming from my freelance writing career at Fiverr. Getting into freelancing, “trying” to start my businesses were a jackpot towards knowledge and happiness for a number of reason. Not giving it a shot is not worth it… because if you succeed you win…you’re rich and happy…. but if you fail….you still win because you’ve learned so many new things.Failure is the best teacher.I hope I provided value to you.<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-0832baf76fcb1e5d08128c93ed7c00f2"/>PS: I take hours of my time answering questions, trying to help you.

How life should be!!!!

Rohan Mohammad's answer to What are 20 things that are not worth it? - Quora

YOU’RE ALMOST THERE….https://www.quora.com/q/shortstoriesmcb/YOU-RE-ALMOST-THERE?ch=10&amp;share=3c1c5889"When it was over, I lay spent and exhausted on the cold, hard earth…never to be ranked with the average and mediocre..."This is a quote from one of our late presidents, my daughter sent me when I was toiling with one of life's many problems.In essence…I am a winner, and I will not say it's over until I have given everything. Until there is nothing left in me to give. That makes me special and unique. I did the first 20 minutes without much of a problem, but then it got hard. I wanted to quit, but I didn't. I just began to do the movements the way I could until I could catch up. Occasionally I would have to stop and start again, but I refused to quit. As you have guessed by now, I finished the class, and I felt great! Tired, but great!The reason I wanted to write about this is because life is like that sometimes. I had quitted some things in my life when it got hard, but the things that I struggled with and finished are the things I am most proud of. When the work is being done, the heart is hurting, and you feel like you just can't take another moment of whatever it is that you are reaching for, it is essential to know that you are probably almost there.When I reached the peak in my exercise class and thought I couldn't make it, I pushed and allowed the sweat to fall down my back, and then to my relief, the instructor began the cool-down movements. Just when I thought I was going to have to quit again, I had made it.

Never Give Up

Elias Edgren's answer to What is the best way to clear your mind every morning and start a productive day? - Quora

<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-9da8816ea0fa03b8edb2a13d1064ad07"/>Leave The Other Things Behind - Whatever you need to do at home, whatever you need to fix in your life, if now is not the time in which you can fix it then do not worry about it now.Leave those things behind and focus on where you are. Deal with them when the time comes and only then.<ol><li>Make a Plan - So much time every day is lost because you do not have control over your time. The average person works less than 3 hours out of the 8 hour workday (Source: <a href="https://www.inc.com/melanie-curtin/in-an-8-hour-day-the-average-worker-is-productive-for-this-many-hours.html">In an 8-Hour Day, the Average Worker Is Productive for This Many Hou</a>rsFollow a schedule, make that schedule fun, and take control of your time; it is the limiting resource of your life.</li><li>Challenge Yourself - Too few people really push their limits. They do what is necessary, fall short of that, and often stop there saying “It’s good enough” If you live by that philosophy you will also always fall short of your dreams and goals and have to settle for what you get with “It’s good enough”…The problem is, that it will not be good enough and you know it. So take the extra step and fight a little harder!</li><li>Surround Yourself with Winning Attitudes - Listen to people that want to reach higher, spend time with those, read what they wrote and consume as much time as possible with them or the things created by them.You are the average of the people you spend the most time with. Be careful as to who that turns you into.</li><li>What if you only had 4 hours? - This is the core message of the book The 4-hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss. What if you only had 4 hours to work this week? What would you need to accomplish? What holds the highest priority? What would you leave behind?Work with this in the back of your mind and you will “Eat the Frog” (Brian Tracy) and do what is necessary because you took “Extreme Ownership” (Jocko Willink) resulting in a far more effective day.</li><li>Smile and be Excitable - Think back as to how you felt during school on your birthday. You were giddy with excitement of the party you had after school, everything was about you that day, and, for some reason, even though the schoolwork was the same it felt a lot easier on those days.That is what excitement can do for you, so find a way to become excitable about what you do. Listen to upbeat music, watch some motivational, look at inspirational pictures/quotes and do what you need to to facilitate the emotion.</li><li>Have Better Dreams - Many people dream far too small. They dream about things that are reasonable and achievable but are not the things they truly desire. It is not surprising then that those people are not willing to work for it! If you actually wanted to make a million dollars but you are saying ten thousand is far more reasonable, will you really work with the same mindset? Will you struggle as long, grind as hard, and go as many extra steps for the 10k as you would for the 1M?</li><li>Just Do It - At the end of the day, no matter what the other tips were or what you actually end up doing, the only thing that matters is that you work more. Forget the thoughts, the emotions, and the tricks and just sit down and do the work.You will not always feel up for it, there will often be other, better things you can do and sometimes your mind will make excuses sound like reasons. But it doesn’t matter. What matters is only what you actually accomplished when the day draws to a close. What did you do to make your life better? What did you finish at work? How productive were you really? You can blame everyone else, say that you do not know how to be more productive and come up with a million different reasons and excuses, but it will not change anything. What will change something is if you actually did something. Remember that!</li></ol>

She even managed to make the interviewer laugh, very rare.She is my friend’s sister.I know a guy, whose teacher said that if he sits for JEE Advance, it will be a joke on him and his parents.Then, something happened………..That guy ended up clearing JEE, that very year.That guy is meThis is what happened:<ol><li>They felt devastated, broken and lost.</li><li>They wanted to give up but DIDN’T.</li><li>Toiled hard, very hard in the face of difficulties.</li><li>Gave it their all.</li></ol>and finally achieved what they wanted.Most people just give up after STEP 1. They will distract themselves by watching YouTube videos, movies, gossiping with friends and what not.But there is another set of people, who have it in themselves to work hard in the face of rejections and these are the people who get what they aspire for.<blockquote>To not give up and to keep working in the face of difficulties is not only underrated but rare and precious trait somebody can have</blockquote>

Shubham Singh Chauhan's answer to What is the single most underrated trait a person can have? - Quora

Here are a few tips to improve your social skills and become a social powerhouse.<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-b5c31cc6179c2a5a43a3550806bdc528"/>1. Speak Less, Listen MoreThis is the golden rule of social success.People don’t really care about you… This might sound harsh, but it’s true.People care, first and foremost, about themselves. This is simply human nature.If you want to unlock the hidden social genius that is inside of you, then you need to accept this fact and use it to your advantage.In any social situation, your goal should always be to do about 20% of the talking and 80% of the listening.Ask people genuine questions. Get to know them. Be genuinely curious about who they are and how they work.Sure…You can talk about yourself and share stories from your life, but this should only account for 20–30% of any given interaction.Instead, spend the majority of your time focused on the other person and I promise you will seem like the most likeable and charismatic person in the room.If you’re ever at a loss for words, remember this magic phrase…“So you said … Tell me more about that”2. Learn How to Tell a JokePeople love to laugh.If you can learn how to make them laugh you will instantly boost your social value and increase your likeability.The best way that I’ve found to improve your sense of humor and tell better jokes is to watch hours and hours of stand up comedy.Guys and gals like<ul><li>Joe Rogan</li><li>Ari Schaffir</li><li>John Mullaney</li><li>Eliza Schlesinger (or however you spell it)</li><li>Sarah Silverman</li><li>Whitney Cummings</li><li>Chris Rock</li><li>Dave Chapelle</li></ul>Are all hilarious individuals who will help you develop a vast repertoire of comedic material and learn how to tell and deliver a joke like a pro.3. Enthusiasm Always WinsIn any social situation, the most enthusiastic person always wins.Before you go into any social situation, I recommend that you take 10 minutes to get “In State” by listening to a song that motivates you and pumps you up and dance/jump around the room.This sounds silly but it will help you develop the right energy to succeed in a social setting.Enthusiasm is contagious.When someone is excited and brings high levels of energy to the table, even the most mundane task can become an absolute joy.Enthusiasm always wins.So get some… Enthusiasm that is.4. SmileA smile goes a long way.Scientists have found<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4933120/Why-simply-SMILING-makes-attractive.html"> that people who smile more are more attractive, healthier, </a>and more likely to have strong social connections.So smile more.Watch lots of comedies.Listen to funny podcasts.Hang out with people who make you smile.The more you smile the happier you will be and the more attractive you will appear.So turn that frown upside down and smile baby smile!5. Hold Eye Contact (But Don’t Be Creepy)Eye contact is an important part of social success, but it’s easy to overdo it.I recommend that you hold eye contact for 4–5 seconds before slowly breaking it away and then reengaging a few seconds later.Whenever you are holding eye contact it can be easier to look at a person’s mouth, nose, or forehead since they can’t actually tell the difference.Strong eye contact is a sign of confidence and it makes people take you more seriously and listen to what you have to say.It’s also incredibly seductive.A man or woman who can hold great eye contact is a man or woman who is attractive to the opposite (or same) sex.6. Speak Your TruthOne of the sexiest things that you can do in any social situation is to speak your truth.This doesn’t mean that you have a hall pass to simply be a jerk and berate people.It simply means that you can and should express your feelings in an appropriate way.If you want to do something, say it.If someone said something that was inappropriate and offensive to your group, call them out on it.If you think someone is cute, express it.If someone is getting on your last nerve, mention it.Don’t hide behind dishonesty and half truths.Speak your truth and say what you mean.People won’t always like it, but the right people will always respect it.7. Use People’s NamesYour name is one of the most powerful words in your entire vocabulary.In fact, researchers have found that when you hear your name a completely different part of your brain activates than when you hear any other word.Use this to your advantage.Always try to use people’s names in conversation.Drop their names casually and regularly without overdoing it.This is a simple subconscious hack that will make others like you more and make you seem more attractive.8. Make Other People Look GoodThe biggest social hack that I know of is to make other people look good.People love to talk about themselves.But do you know what they like even more?… When other people talk about them in a positive way.Anytime you are out with friends, always try to tell stories and jokes that make the other people in your social circle look good.Tell stories about times when your friends did something crazy, cool, or impressive.Go out of your way to make the people in your social circle feel special and it will pay dividends in your social success.9. Give Genuine ComplimentsFor whatever reason, our society seems to have lost the ability to give a genuine compliment.Men are scared that if they compliment a woman they will seem creepy or if they compliment another man they will seem “Gay” (not that this should be considered an insult but that’s just how society is).But this is all bull crap!When you genuinely compliment someone, they will appreciate it.If they don’t…Well, they probably weren’t worth having in your social circle in the first place.Give genuine compliments on a regular basis and I promise you will see a massive increase in your social capital and charisma.10. Present Yourself WellWhile I wish I could tell you that looks don’t matter.…I’d be lying to you.How you present yourself to the world MATTERS.People make split second judgement based on your appearance and, even though this might not be fair, it’s the reality that we live in.As such, it’s important that you:<ul><li>Practice good hygiene</li><li>Smell great</li><li>Dress appropriately with clothes that fit your body</li><li>Whiten your teeth</li><li>Get a good tan</li><li>Exercise regularly</li><li>And look the part</li></ul>You don’t have to be traditionally beautiful to be a social powerhouse.But you do need to put some effort into putting your best foot forward and presenting yourself well.Stay Grounded,Andrew

How to be charismatic and social!!

Growing up, I was one of the shyest and most socially awkward people you’d ever meet.I didn’t know how to hold eye contact.I didn’t know how to hold a conversation.And I sure as heck didn’t know how to get a beautiful woman to go on a date with me.… Today it’s a slightly different story.Today, I get to party with multimillionaires and celebrities like Ashton Kutcher, Lance Armstrong, Naveen Jain (billionaire founder of Moon Express), and even Matthew McConaughey (alright, alright, alright).I don’t say this to brag.But rather to impress upon you that the tactics I’m about to share WORK.Being charismatic and socially adept is not a skill you are born with.…It’s not genetic.It’s not something you are cursed with.It’s a skill…And if you’re willing to take the time to develop it, it’s a skill that can (and will) change your life in every appreciable way.Here are a few tips to improve your social skills and become a social powerhouse.<img src="https://qphs.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-b5c31cc6179c2a5a43a3550806bdc528"/>1. Speak Less, Listen MoreThis is the golden rule of social success.People don’t really care about you… This might sound harsh, but it’s true.People care, first and foremost, about themselves. This is simply human nature.If you want to unlock the hidden social genius that is inside of you, then you need to accept this fact and use it to your advantage.In any social situation, your goal should always be to do about 20% of the talking and 80% of the listening.Ask people genuine questions. Get to know them. Be genuinely curious about who they are and how they work.Sure…You can talk about yourself and share stories from your life, but this should only account for 20–30% of any given interaction.Instead, spend the majority of your time focused on the other person and I promise you will seem like the most likeable and charismatic person in the room.If you’re ever at a loss for words, remember this magic phrase…“So you said … Tell me more about that”2. Learn How to Tell a JokePeople love to laugh.If you can learn how to make them laugh you will instantly boost your social value and increase your likeability.The best way that I’ve found to improve your sense of humor and tell better jokes is to watch hours and hours of stand up comedy.Guys and gals like<ul><li>Joe Rogan</li><li>Ari Schaffir</li><li>John Mullaney</li><li>Eliza Schlesinger (or however you spell it)</li><li>Sarah Silverman</li><li>Whitney Cummings</li><li>Chris Rock</li><li>Dave Chapelle</li></ul>Are all hilarious individuals who will help you develop a vast repertoire of comedic material and learn how to tell and deliver a joke like a pro.3. Enthusiasm Always WinsIn any social situation, the most enthusiastic person always wins.Before you go into any social situation, I recommend that you take 10 minutes to get “In State” by listening to a song that motivates you and pumps you up and dance/jump around the room.This sounds silly but it will help you develop the right energy to succeed in a social setting.Enthusiasm is contagious.When someone is excited and brings high levels of energy to the table, even the most mundane task can become an absolute joy.Enthusiasm always wins.So get some… Enthusiasm that is.4. SmileA smile goes a long way.Scientists have found<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4933120/Why-simply-SMILING-makes-attractive.html"> that people who smile more are more attractive, healthier, </a>and more likely to have strong social connections.So smile more.Watch lots of comedies.Listen to funny podcasts.Hang out with people who make you smile.The more you smile the happier you will be and the more attractive you will appear.So turn that frown upside down and smile baby smile!5. Hold Eye Contact (But Don’t Be Creepy)Eye contact is an important part of social success, but it’s easy to overdo it.I recommend that you hold eye contact for 4–5 seconds before slowly breaking it away and then reengaging a few seconds later.Whenever you are holding eye contact it can be easier to look at a person’s mouth, nose, or forehead since they can’t actually tell the difference.Strong eye contact is a sign of confidence and it makes people take you more seriously and listen to what you have to say.It’s also incredibly seductive.A man or woman who can hold great eye contact is a man or woman who is attractive to the opposite (or same) sex.6.

How to be social

Andrew Ferebee's answer to What are some social life hacks? - Quora

Your competition isn't other people. Your competition is your procrastination. Your ego. The unhealthy food you're consuming,the knowledge you neglect. The negative behaviour you're nurturing and your lack of creativity. Compete against that!!!
