I have seen other complete guides on the internet, and so I thought I would write one that is in one of my categories of activity. If you are interested in meeting people in Los Angeles how I do it, I can provide my perspective on the matter. I would organize this essay, or put a lot of effort into it, but that would be counter to my natural style, and I probably wouldn’t finish it if I did, and you wouldn’t have this to read.
Step one is to realize that you are worthwhile. This is the step before any other step. If you don’t have self-esteem, or an understanding that you are lucky to even be here, the rest of this complete guide won’t be valuable. You have to go through the day, and into discussions with people, with the sense that everything you did before then led you up to this point, and it would be an insult to all of your past to not follow through with internal smoothness. Nervousness and anxiety are an insult to your past self.
I would tailor this guide to someone who is more sensitive, or someone who is less sensitive, but I’m not tailoring it at all. It is fairly straightforward from my perspective.
Step two is to go out to public places and say things to people who pique your interest in some way. Again, this requires the self-esteem, and more importantly, life understanding, from step one. You go up to people and say something, using all the knowledge and social experience you have up until that point to be received well. If you really care about results, you can write out how each time goes, and look back at what you wrote to see if there was something you could do better.
Now that you have gone through step two, you are having a sense of better ways to interact, or the kinds of people you are more geared toward, or have gotten motivation through your hurdles or successes.
That was most of the steps that matter. If you are a connector like me, part of your motivation in meeting people is to connect them to others that day, that week, or at some time. It is nice to bring people together who would never have met before.
Another category to take into account is those who send you some form of negative energy for trying to socialize with them. If you have the self-esteem from step one, they have no reason to look poorly at you, so it is a reflection of their own day. Understand that their time is not going well in some regard, and that they don’t know you. Don’t absorb the negativity or rejection, but absorb the motivation you get after the fact. Not sharing your greatness and life is an insult to your greatness and life.
Some would say that it is not so easy to do what I have described here. There are obviously a thousand articles in between the steps I have written that would iron out the details of each part and sub-part, and so on. I like to focus on the broader topics, because the details along the way have a tendency to work themselves out.
A person who brings a level of energy to a category always gets results and stories in said category. It is a matter of imparting some of the life that you have onto that category, which in this case is meeting people in Los Angeles in a similar way to myself. Note that I didn’t make it meeting people in LA in general, because my way of doing it would be different than the next individual. I wouldn’t judge their way, in the same way I wouldn’t be receptive to their judgment of my ways of communicating, or beliefs on the matter.
If you have the passion behind it, you could then bring people together who you have met from here to there. This can branch out to the point of having a huge congregation of individuals who are on your team in this regard, which is a great feeling. It is always up to you how far you go with something.
One good thing about getting to meeting people in Los Angeles is that it translates to lots of other places. Los Angeles individuals in public have been run through more systems and are more socially competitive than individuals in most other places, so getting skilled here means even more ability in other regions.
I like the variety of new people, and the little things that I get to see or figure out thanks to them. It is an expansion of sorts, and putting yourself into entropy keeps you more in line with the world than deviating from the natural variety of it.
If I continue this guide at a later time for a part 2, the complete guide becomes even more complete. Onward we go~
