How to feel happy around other people?

Its difficult to come out of your shell around others if you don’t have a lot of confidence. The best way I find to overcome these sort of nerves are to laugh at how nervous I am and crack a joke about it. People tend to like that cos everyone can relate to feeling uncomfortable, you will then notice yourself become more at ease from doing this

You can’t make yourself happy. Find something that you enjoy that other people might enjoy and just go crazy with it.

Don’t really think so much what people think. They can just as easily look past that

hug them!

try hanging around with people who are nervous like you, that sometimes boosts my confidence cos then you end up feeling like you fit in.
or go somewhere that suits your interest with people like you

While you may be sitting in the company of some other people, you might try and listen more to them, and also asking some questions about how they are and how they are feeling being in that particular social situation.

You do not necessarily have to be happy in the presence of others. Happiness is a feeling that spontaneously can be there and also not be there. If you can try and imagine of a constructed happiness for you, then you might try and contrive a more or less clever strategy for such a happiness.

Also, instead of of thinking that you do not know what to think, you might think about asking the one or one’s in the very nearby of you about the way they see things around themselves, how they feel about what is going on, …, about what makes them happy, and also about what does not make them happy.

You might even decide and ask if somebody would like to tell you a joke in order to see if that would make you laugh. You might decide and enjoy and comment upon the quality of some beverage or of some food.

Furthermore, you might try and daringly interact with somebody of the other sex, you might try and venture to ask if they are enjoying being around, and you might try and as sincerely as possible describe the way you yourself feel in those social situations.

As about your own very strict father, you might think that many parents are being or have been strict, even unreasonably strict; many more parents have been laissez-faire, in a loving way, or in a disinterested and distant way; some others have been or are being sort of pervertedly hard towards their off-spring.

Thus, you might decide and say to yourself that primarily it is your own will that matters; you might decide and exhort yourself to listen more to people in your social context, and so also to allow them to ask you questions, and to suggest that you might do things together.

From all that some happiness, even an unexpectedly great glowing happiness, might arouse.

lock your critic in a closet and satisfy your curiosity. Shock people with your spontaneity.
