Just go up and start conversation and try and relate what they like or what they are saying to personal experiences to make a connection or a bond. Perfecting this trait is a sure way to start the road to popularity.
Personality is a trait everyone has, but what kind of personality is the key. A certain personality is needed to be popular, a personality that isn’t like everyone and yet bonds with everyone else’s personality. A good quality is to be open to other people’s ideas.
