Dear singhcool:

You are welcome. And thank you for your sentiment (about meeting me) You asked how can you make a friendship being the quiet, introverted person that you are. My answer: spot a person who is also quiet and introverted. It is about SELECTING people before approaching, then approaching/ initiating a conversation and waiting for the person to respond to you; if they respond positively enough, you talk next, back and forth, a two way street interaction, both parties listening and paying attention.

If a kind, extroverted person approaches you, by all means respond positively. Also, when and if you approach a quiet looking person, do so gently. Quiet, introverted people get scared easily when approached! Don’t confuse a person’s fearful reaction to mean dislike of you or displeasure that you started talking to them. Give them time to recover, and be gentle.
