Great, you've gotten into this post. Chances are you'd like to become better at talking to strangers, or just better at socializing in general.
Since social skills is something which is learned by training, here is the first challenge:
1. Start a conversation with someone you've never met before.
You do not necessarily have to approach someone, do what you feel is challenging but you can yet handle. In order to become better at something you need to push yourself, yet not further than you can handle. You don't get stronger by attempting to lift a car, you get stronger by lifting weights near your limit, but not more. You can just start a small conversation with the guy/girl behind the counter in a store, or someone you're sitting with in the bus, or someone in the same queue as you in a shop. Anything works, as long as you push yourself. Talk about the weather, the long wait in the queue, the pricing of bananas, or whatever interests you. :)
If you feel like starting a conversation is to much to handle for now, start with what you feel you can manage. People start with anything ranging from making eye contact, to smiling, to saying hi to random people in the street.
Good luck.
I'm not that great at this myself, which is why I'm blogging about it as I read about self-development concepts. I'll also be doing these challenges, and perhaps modify them if my experiences show me better ways of going about this. I'm going to try this challenge today, and I'll share my experiences later on.
