how to be nicer to people?

okay, so like Im not mean to people, but I don't really like being around people that annoy me. that sounds rude, but I'm going to be a freshman, and I'm kinda mature for my age. like idk why but being at school just makes me rude to people sometimes. not rude like "get out of my way" or giving people dirty looks, just I don't really take the time to be nice to everyone. which I want to, because I'm not really outgoing with strangers, so I'm trying to make people want to know me, because I'm nice to them. you know?

so like how can I be nicer to people? I'm sorry if this is confusing and/or dumb, I don't know how to word it.

    i can totally relate to you.. i used to be that kind of a person (i bet you get annoyed with superficial ppl...) but what you need to do to come off as nicer is to:

    1) smile!! people love others that come off as happy

    2) try to open up a little (closed off people can come off as arrogant or antisocial)

    3) be polite (like you're talking to any other person)

    4) try to initiate conversation (makes you seem friendly)

    5) become outgoing (not to the point of superficiality, but enough to let people know your a nice human being)

    thats just a couple things to get you started.. u seem smart so I bet you'll be able to pick up on more social cues as time goes on...

    hope this helps :)

    Source(s): experience. i was completely like you before... ;)

    OK keep a smile on your face when your around people or so no emotion at all. Don't be too talkative and stuff. Dont talk about yourself. And don't be selfish.
