text: what can i do to be more of a "people" person?   practice makes perfect :) if you want to be a people person practice at it   the thing that made me a people person is getting out and working with the public and socializing.   you learn to understand and respect others.  learn to treat people the way you expect to be treated.  learn to say "good morning, afternoon, evening or night to a stranger passing by. you would be amazed at how much people like that. :) tell the person that waits on you at the store or restaurant thankyou and have a good day.   strike a conversation with someone who you may end up sitting by on a bus or airplane(if you ever travel)  be pleasant.  don't be shy (if you are) get out there and socialize and make friends. often times in social settings, you have to make yourself known by walking up and talking to people. :)
