MotD: Never Refuse A Social Invitation

Here's a thought.
How often have you turned down a social invitation to a gathering, a group dinner, a party, or any sort of general activity simply because "you didn't really feel like it" or "you had nobody to go with."  If it's something you're interested in, you'll meet like minded people there.  The only way you'll feel like it is if you do it.

Something interesting happens when you're not getting out and meeting people, or even hanging out with a wide group of people regularly.  You lose passion for it.  Over time, you'll feel lonely, or like something's missing.  You'll look at other groups of people and wonder 'how do they find the time or the energy?'

The only way you'll ever be a social being is by simply being a social being.  So next time someone invites you out to something, throw some nice clothes on, makeup if you'd like, and get out there.  Humans require interaction to have a healthy mindset; staying at home will depress you.  Live life like you mean it.

Welcome

Welcome to Social Intelligence.

The point of this blog is to post things I learn about interacting with people, and include references to other blogs and information regarding the same thing.

A lot of what I'll be posting here may be old news to some of you.  The blog isn't going to be so much new information as a repository of info.

I'll be posting pictures, links to other blogs, articles I've read or wrote, just about thing.

To start though, a quote, for those of you who're looking to meet people, make new friends, or just expand your social horizon.


"The absolute best way to meet new people is to have something better to do than meet people."

This applies to both sexes, in all walks of life.  Volunteer, join a team, go out with friends... whatever.  If you're out, relaxed, enjoying yourself or doing something, then you meet people without thinking it.  If you're just going out to try to meet people, you'll probably overthink something and just screw with your head.
