17.can try mingle wif ppl surround by Actively asking them questions
(ask about them, be curious about people, sure they will have a lot of stories to tell u 🙂

18. give smile, juz ask , how r u doing, u look nice in this dress/ i like ur shirts / anything / what a nice writing!

(at first, u dun feel normal to do it, but once u sincerely trying to
FIND SOMETHING GOOD IN PEOPLE,
u will feel easier to mingle wif them 🙂

19. give parents a call (use we chat/ viber/ line/ wataaps / skype….)
from wat i knw, parents are the one who will not feel disturb if we call them everyday~~
haha! i disturb my mummy and dadddy everyday when i’m bored!

20. actively call ur frens/families – ask how r they doing – share some joke – make them happy

(at first, i was sad about no one calling me after i transfer degree to a new university, but after that i found out, i’m the one who is too free to think about anything nonsense, so i try to GIVE my call/fb/ watapps them actively )

in order to receive, u muz give first 🙂

21. consistently do some volunteer nearby ur place ( u can search online)
(like for me, i like children, so i’ll choose to teach, buy something for them
care for them )

22. i oso saw some volunteer grp, they even doing some skype wif children, teach them to read whenever they r free, make some birthday cards/ any celebration cards to them

( u can choose any volunteer base on ur interests)
