I can say for sure at every event where there are other people present, some are easier to talk to than others. On some days I can be as talkative as the next person but sometimes I can be very quiet if I just want to stay to myself. Now this is a topic which as a student, can help portray your friend group and who we like to be around.
If we like to voice our opinion and be loud about what we feel is right, people with similar views and personalities will attempt to be around us and strike up a conversation. However, if we seem shy or laid back, even introverted, we can come off as unappealing to converse with and have trouble making friends. In my case, I like being around people who are fun to talk to and aren't afraid to hide information about themselves. This openness gives me a sense of trust which I can reaffirm with them. These extroverts can sometimes be perceived as too open or trusting but I just believe they are people who are looking for a vent to fill. In the case of introverts, I believe myself to be slightly introverted. Over social media like Snapchat or Instagram, I can easily have conversations but in real life, my true awkwardness begins to show. I struggle to continue conversations sometimes and have trouble communicating the focus of the conversation. If I was put into a room with another person, I can guarantee I would not be able to talk to the other person unless they started the conversation. Imagine yourself in that situation. You are put into a room with an absolute stranger and you have to be able to hold a conversation. If you cannot hold the conversation, you know that your people and communicative skills might be lower than others. However if you can control the conversation and allow the other person to become comfortable, this shows your high skills in allowing people to become open with you. Its all a matter of personal skill in how to react in situations that might be difficult.
