Overview

Mixing up your social circle is good for your social life, so consider how you can connect with someone you normally would not spend time with today. It doesn't have to be a long, extended date -- just time enough to establish a new familiarity. Sit next to a different person at lunch, or strike up a conversation with a stranger while standing in line. Exchanging a short round of small talk might be all it takes to remind you of the goodness of people.
