I have always had a hard time with this. It takes me a long time to get really comfortable with people before I really feel like I am myself around them. My number one vote was for "showing interest in other people". Do that and the rest will follow. If you're interested in others, you'll find thing to start conversations about, you'll make eye contact and have open body lang. etc. Interesting topic. I have always had a hard time with this.

We all do some of each at times. It's just that we have a preference. One of the greatest human need is to be listened to and I think , as a hard wired introvert, that know how to listen and can use it as an unfair advantage.
