Make eye contact.

Be in the path of traffic.

Make yourself easy to encounter.

And if there's a setting you attend regularly, a gym, a coffee shop, a co-working space, a class, the single most powerful social strategy is just showing up consistently.

Not performing, not doing something big or memorable, just being there.

The mere exposure effect will do the heavy lifting.

People will feel like they know you before you've ever spoken.

And then when the conversation eventually happens, and it will, it will feel easier.

Not because you engineered it, but because their brain already decided you're familiar and safe.

Stop trying to be memorable.

Just be present again and again.

Shift number six.

I'm really glad you're still here because this one is huge and will make such a difference.

Give people a role.

This is one of the most overlooked and most powerful tools in human connection, and almost nobody ever talks about it.

Someone walks into a social setting.

They're dealing with the same thing you are, by the way.

Uncertainty, ambiguity, feeling lonely.

They don't know what to do.

They don't know where they fit.
