Passage One
Smiling does not mean you have to put on a false face or pretend you are happy all of the time.When you see someone you know,or would like to make contact with,smile.You are showing an open attitude to conversation.
You might not realize a closed position is the cause of many conversational problems.A common closed position is sitting with your arms and legs crossed and your hand covering your mouth or chin.This is often called the "thinking pose".Ask yourself this question:Axe you going to interrupt someone who appears to be deep in thought?This position gives off "stay away" signs and prevents your main "sign sender" (your mouth) from being seen by others looking for inviting conversational signs.Without these inviting signs,others will most likely stay away from you and look for someone who appears to be ready for contact.
To improve this habitual way of standing or sitting,start by keeping your hands away from your mouth,and keep your arms uncrossed.Crossed arms may show a rigid state of mind,not especially inviting to outside contact.They can also show a lack of patience,displeasure,or judgment -- any of which would prevent people from opening up.
