Proactive Strategies to Build a Social Life
A) A lot of people believe that developing a social life is something that should
just
happen
and
develop
naturally,
without
you
needing
to
do
anything.
I
disagree. I think that while this can happen for some folks, in certain stages of
their
life,
it鈥檚
not
always
the
case,
which
is
why
many
of
us
today
lack
a
fulfilling
social
life.
If
you鈥檙e
in
college
where
you
get
to
hang
around
lots
of
other
people
and
you鈥檙e
naturally
a
social
perso
n,
your
social
circle
will
develop on its own. But if you鈥檙e an accountant working in cubicle all day and
you鈥檙e
kind
of
shy
and
don鈥檛
go
out
much,
your
social
life
may
be
seriously
deficient.
B)
In
my
view,
building
a
social
life
requires
the
same
active
and
strategic
approach that making money or building a career requires. The approach is
based on setting goals and acting on them. Coming from this angle, I want to
show
you
some
proactive

strategies
to
build
a
social
life.
C) A fulfilling social life looks differently for different people. Some of us need
lots of friends and a large social circle. Some of us are more fond of having
just a few friends, but who are very close to us. And some prefer a mix of the
two. What is your preference? Do you know? Take some time to think about
this
and
visualize
what
your
ideal
social
circle
would
look
like.
D)
Another
aspect
to
think
about
is
what
kind
of
people
you
want
in
your
social circle. Do you prefer people who are artistic, or people who are tech-
oriented? People who are outdoorsy or prefer to be indoors? Usually, you will
get
along
best
with
individuals
who
are
similar
to
you.
So
I
advise
you
to
consider your dominant traits and consciously decide which of these traits are
important for you to find in others. If you know what kind of people you want in
your
life,
you鈥檙e
much
more
likely
to
find
them.
E) Once you know how many and what kind of friends you鈥檙e looking for, it鈥檚
