How to be an extrovert 101

Make a list of people you know. Friends, family, relatives, acquaintances.

Sort them by city and further sort by acquaintance and close.

Before every weekend (ideally around wed/thu), ping one or two close people and a few acquaintances to check if they're available on the weekend.

If more than 1 person says yes and shows up, you are sorted. Usually it will be your close friend, acquaintances tend to ditch more often.

When traveling, refer to the list and see if there are people you know at your destination. Repeat previous 2 steps.

Do not get disheartened if few or no people show up. People have busy lives, it happens. Don't take it personally. The more often someone cancels, the more likely they are to attend the next one (assuming they actually want to).

If you don't feel like going out, just give the same people a call and catch up with each other. Do not get disheartened if no one picks up. People have busy lives, it happens. Don't take it personally.

Be shameless about wanting to talk or meet, no one really minds people who make an initiative to connect.
