Small tip: look for smiles in the corners of the eyes. This happens when laughter is genuine. If you do things that make someone laugh genuinely, they will probably stick around.

How to Win Friends and Influence people is also a masterful book for socializing. It basically teaches you what naturals do automatically.

I’ve forced myself to smile more broadly so it’s actually visible, maybe I should keep the habit! I feel like it’s a crazy grin without the mask on though.
