Because I'm being a bit lazy today, and sick, I'm slacking a bit on the topic of the day, and I'm claiming this topic as psychology. This is from Yahoo:
7 ways to be more approachable:
1. Host informal get togethers.
Always having something to invite someone to opens opportunities to continue potential relationships with people you may meet.
2. Don't be afraid to be a nerd.
If you act the nerd - i.e. the person who cares too much about something and going too far - people find something possibly relatable.
3. Smile.
This one is a bit of a no brainer, but smiling is the best way to make you more approachable and generally, more likable.
4. Buy a ticket, not a trinket.
Spending money on an experience can leave you with a more positive memory rather then a physical item that you may not need. It also opens you up to the opportunity to meet new people.
5. Help others connect.
Invite friends to events with you. Help each other meet new people.
6. Embrace your imperfections.
Be in the moment and accept who you are.
7. Be happy, don't just fake it.
Much like smiling, this sounds a bit obvious, but it is the underlying key in starting things off right. No one wants to be friends with a grump. So perk up and share the joy.
ok, here is a real lesson:
Psychology vs. Psychiatry:
While both are a study of mental health, psychiatrists can prescribe medications while a psychologist can not. Psychologists are more interested in research and studies on patients while psychiatrists will more likely do "simple" examinations to determine conditions. Making a psychiatrist more of a physician while a psychologist is more of a scientist.
