Am I trying to be a wannabe? What if I come across as a tryhard? Maybe I’m not meant to be a party soul after all.

I get your doubtful thoughts, my friend. If you’re not really known for your fun-loving personality, the idea of suddenly being more fun can seem intimidating.

9 Tips To Be A More Fun Person

1. Say Yes To Those Plans

I agree there are certain situations you’re better off not being a part of, but most of the time you could be disagreeing simply to avoid stepping out of your normal life.

Nobody likes discomfort, but being a part of plans doesn’t have to lie out of your comfort zone. The truth of the matter is that you could be missing out on a lot of fun by always saying no.

And if there’s even a tiny part of you that agrees, then make a choice to be more outgoing.

Whenever the idea of a plan excites you, say yes without giving yourself time to second guess, and then stick to your decision.

I’ve always had trouble agreeing to plans, but it was one of my resolutions for this year to show up for events that I know I’ll have a good time at.

And guess what – I’ve been having a blast showing my face to places I wouldn’t even think of going to a few months back. Amazing how not being a naysayer can work out in your favor at times.

2. Be The Initiator

Honestly, I’m quite comfortable going along with other people’s plans, but I occasionally make an effort to be the initiator and end up having an amazing time.

When you’re in the mood to have a fun time out with your friends, drop a text in your group chat asking, ‘So, what are we doing this weekend?’

You don’t have to sit around hoping someone will make plans for you. Go ahead and declare that you’re in the mood for a good time.

Be comfortable with being the one who sets things in motion. It’ll help you create fun in your life rather than waiting for it to happen.

3. Let Go Of Your Fears

To fully embrace your fun-loving side, you must break free of your fears. Easier said than done, I know, but what if I told you that it doesn’t have to be hard?

I used to believe that getting rid of my fears would require a great deal of effort, but now I know that being fearless is a matter of choice.

At any moment, you are either choosing to be held back by your fears, or defying them by acting out.

Your self-doubts, inhibitions, and hesitations are not bigger than you. Don’t let them hold you back from living your life to the fullest.

Sign up for that talent show at your college, start conversations with new people, and do things that scare you.

The moment you stop giving in to your fears, you’ll give yourself permission to have fun in life.

4. Don’t Judge Others

I avoided taking part in any of the college events for a year because I didn’t think I’d get along with certain people on the preparation team.

Then at a point, I pushed myself to get involved and was pleasantly surprised by how nice everyone was. I’d always cherish the memories and the fun I had with those people.

The bottom line is, it’s not your job to be a judge.

You are in this world to live your life and make each day count, and that can happen only when you accept humans with all their flaws and emotions.

Be understanding, empathetic, and open-minded. You’ll be surprised by the fun opportunities you can open for yourself by doing this.

5. Learn To Enjoy Your Own Company

Having fun doesn’t always have to involve people. In fact, my happiest memories are the ones I created in my own company.

You don’t need a party to make you happy or to make your Saturday night eventful. You are more than capable of being your own best friend.

Embrace self-love in all its glory and learn to enjoy your own company.

Take yourself out on solo dates, throw yourself self-care pamper sessions, and be okay with going to the cinema alone if your friends are not able to join in.

A dear friend of mine recently took herself on a solo date, taking a mental break from all the chaotic things in life, and described the experience as ‘life-changing’.

She went book shopping, treated herself to her favorite dessert, and sat under a tree reading like a fairy tale princess.

Now that is what you call being a fun person by yourself, for yourself.

6. Choose To Be Stressfree

Some amount of stress might be necessary to stay on top of your goals, but most of us don’t find it easy to put a limit on our stress.

And that’s because we don’t aim to be stress-free in the first place.

During my high school years, I was the least fun person I knew. I was so busy preparing for my exams and filling out college applications that I forgot to enjoy the tiny moments in life.

I wish I’d known back then that stress is a major mood killer, and I was not doing myself any favors by choosing it over my mental health.

Nobody is born stress-free, but you can choose to be in this state of mind by putting in some inner work.

Make time to deal with your negative emotions, spend quality time by yourself, and give yourself plenty of rest.

At the end of each day, positivity should thrive in that pretty little mind of yours, and stress should be given zero priority.

7. Be Yourself – No Gimmicks, No Pretending

You’re looking to make yourself more fun, but that doesn’t mean you have to abandon your true self.

No matter which part of the world you are in, authenticity shines best everywhere. Choose it over any gimmicks that you think will make you ‘appear’ more fun.

Appearances are overrated anyway, but how you feel at heart is what matters the most.

Teach yourself how to dance freely at a party, but know that it’s okay if you want to stop after just two songs.

If high heels don’t do it for you, then show up in your white sneakers and own your style with pride.

Be who you are, forever and always. It’s one of the most attractive traits of a person, and will automatically make you more fun to be around.

8. Turn Into A Host

It’s nice to go along with the flow and tick yes on event invites, but consider how fun it must be to be the organizer.

I mean, why wait for a party to hit the town when you can bring the party to you?

Turn into a weekend chef and invite a friend over for dinner. Even if your soup is runny, at least you’ll have a good laugh while ordering take-outs.

Host movie marathon nights in your living room, invite your gal pals for mini tea parties, and surround yourself with your family members on Sunday nights.

What I love about this idea is that you get to make the plans of your choice. From a wild dance party to a quiet candle-lit dinner, you are in full charge of setting the tone of the evening.

9. Embrace Your Fun-Loving Side

You could read all the self-help blogs for tips on how to be a more fun person, but non of that would mean much if you don’t embrace your fun-loving side.

Give yourself permission to be wild and let your inner child run free.

You deserve to acknowledge every part of you, including all the messiness and the silly things that make you who you are.

Allow yourself to have fun without any conditions. Don’t let those doubts and insecurities hold you back. You only live once, and it’s up to you how well you want to live this life.

Maybe you thrive being a weekend reader but have always wanted to try clubbing too. This is your time to give the latter thing a shot and decide how often you want to do it.

And who says you can’t be a midnight reader while being a social butterfly? I veto any idea that suggests otherwise, and you should do the same.

Don’t become a fun person to impress others. It’ll be fruitless, and quite frankly, a waste of your time.

Instead, do it to make your days more interesting and less boring. Do it to be more daring, to let go of your inhibitions, and to live each day to the fullest.

If you ask me, those are the best dang reasons to be a more fun person. So, use this post as your guide and slowly discover the joy of being more fun.
