<Source: Revised from Hougang Care Centre (Singapore mental rehab centre) Courses.>
Always have eye contact in social interactions. Eye contact will change a shy person's life. Last time, I am very shy. Always look down on the floor = no friend. Until I know the importance of eye contact. When I maintain eye contact with strangers, I have more friends. When I have eye contact with friends I speak with, I have more conversations & keep more good friends.
If you seldom smile, you need to learn to smile a lots. May need to practice in front of mirror.
Your tone of voice should be pleasant & not harsh. Or too soft or too loud. Need to be just nice.
Need to be aware of your face expressions. Are you smiling when you are saying sad things? Sad face when saying happy things? Do you smiles often? Do you have a blank face? Your face needs to portrait a happy face, sad face, angry face, disgusted face etc.
Your hands & legs should not be crossed (barrier defensive). Your hand should not be touching your face or chin (bored).
