After much curiosity of how sometimes I can be the most outgoing at a party and other times feeling reclusive in situations where i know i need to shine, i have decided to dig deeper into how i work. What i found was that being social comes naturally to some. Yes, that does include me and many others, but i have noticed when my moods down or there is another person in the spotlight it may be hard to get out there. Or sometimes a person just doesnt feel it that day.
Then I thought about a few things that have helped me get out there without my conscious knowledge:
Adreneline (meeting new people) - especially on a one on one basis, throws out true energy for me. Im on my feet and i feel alive. My brain is functioning more than its usual standby with people who i have known longer and see everyday. This makes me more talkative, creative and outgoing.
Adreneline (being daring) - doing things that make me have to snap out of a comfort zone. standing in front of a theatre and singing happy birthday to my friend when its not his birthday. Always gets a laugh from other friends and wakes my mind up, I become more energetic and I feel more fun. Approaching people in an informal way other than at a party, or even at a party (but that goes with the above point). Its putting your mind on the spot and youll have more things popping through it surely.
Emotions - I recall when i was at my friends house and was just sitting watching him photoshop a friend. I felt dull and had nothing to talk about. Eventually he said something that struck a chord in me and i got angered playfully. He said something about them all going to the movies later when i had different plans for the evening for us all. The emotion created energy and my brain was now running overtime to back me up for my opinion. Same thing for happyness, such as hearing good news. I get excited, so i become motivated to be more outgoing instantly.
The idea is to stimulate your brain in a way that you become more lively and the center of attention. I love the center of attention but sometimes lack the motivation to push, maybe due to what people would think, but that is only linked with a timid mindset that I dont always show. I am usually outgoing but sometimes need to kick myself into gear. I see these as a way to help.
If anyone else has ways to becoming more in the spotlight (without alcohol) dont hold back, share.
