It’s not easy meeting new people, especially if you feel particularly shy. It is much easier to just walk by a person and never make eye contact. This may be OK at the store, but what if you’re at a convention, a trade fair or even a local festival. That person that you just walked past could be a valuable contact. Or they could know someone you want to know. They also could be a jerk. But you’ll never know unless you put yourself out there and find out for sure. 结识新朋友并不容易，如果你又是个害羞的人，那就更难了。直接从别人身边经过并避开眼神接触要自在得多。倘若这是在商店，那倒也无所谓；但若是参加会议、商展或当地节日，可就不太好了，你刚刚经过的那个人说不定就是潜在人脉，或许他们甚至认识你一直想结识的人，当然，他们也可能只是傻逼。可是，除非主动跟人搭话，否则你永远也不知道他们究竟是怎样的人。 Will some people reject you and not want to talk to you? Yes. But who cares? For every 10 people you talk, one or two of them could become valuable connections — or lifelong friends. What have you got to lose? 会不会有人直接甩脸懒得跟你搭话呢？当然会，可谁在乎？你跟10个人搭话，就有一两个人可能是潜在人脉——甚至终生朋友。你还有什么好吃亏的？ Here are a few ways you can overcome your fear and turn strangers into new connections: |
