Every time I see one of these 'how to make friends and influence people' sort of lists, I can't help but fear for the young people who will take them as gospel and act like a robot, moving through them as a checklist.

Also, this one is summed up as - pay attention to non-verbal communication (body language), pay attention to group dynamics, be available and in proximity when appropriate and available fluidly, get people to talk about themselves, and be interested in other people.

In other words, act like a person who is trying to make friends with another person.
