Social life :- Practice openness and vulnerability.

When you don't feel confident about yourself or your relationship skills, it is difficult to open up to another person. Often we build walls and shut down emotions in order to protect ourselves from embarrassment or rejection. Vulnerability feels deeply uncomfortable when we aren't sure if something negative might follow. But authenticity is the only path to a real connection in any relationship. You can't close off parts of yourself and feel confident in who you are. When you are reserved and self-conscious, you are depriving others of the benefit of your true personality and uniqueness. You also deprive yourself of the potential for an enjoyable, real connection.

Action Steps: Consider how you might be closing yourself off or being inauthentic in your relationships. Start by taking one small step toward authenticity and vulnerability. Share a life-long dream or talk about an insecurity in a conversation with a friend or acquaintance. Practice speaking from the heart, even at the risk of appearing less-than-perfect. You'll find others relate to you better and find you more approachable.
