There are many ways to be an important member of a group, and you probably already have a natural role within the groups that you engage with. This role may not be someone who is at the center of attention at all times, but your role is important nonetheless. Think about your role when you are in a group and try to be proud of this contribution.  For example, you might be the type of person who is quiet most of the time, but who says insightful or funny things whenever you do speak. Or, you might be the member of your group who others look to for direction or to keep everyone on track. Still another role might be as a supporter. You might be the one who encourages other people within your group and helps them to feel comfortable. Once you've developed your opinions, be assertive and express them. If you simply agree in arguments and discussions, you won't stand out from the crowd. Feel free to express your opinion when discussing issues like politics and current events. This will make people notice you more.  Remember to be respectful when voicing your opinion. You can stand out if you're argumentative, but it may not be in a positive manner. You can phrase your opinion by beginning with something like, "I see what you're saying, but I actually disagree." Remember that your needs and feelings matter. Work on being willing to express yourself to be more assertive. Also, remind yourself that it is okay to say “no.” Try to practice saying no in situations that are low stakes. For example, if a member of the group asks, “Does everyone like the idea of ordering pizza for lunch?” then you might say something like, “No, actually. I would like something light for lunch. Does the restaurant we are ordering from have salads?” People want to be around those who are fun. You don't necessarily have to be the life of every party, especially if it goes against your nature, but try to laugh and loosen up when out in public. This will make you stand out as a fun, interesting person to have around.  Try to go with the flow at social events. If the whole gang is going to a bar you're feeling so-so about, do not protest. You might have a good time. Allow your humor to come out. Crack jokes, even if they seem stupid or silly. You'll stand out from the crowd this way. Never be shy about expressing your interests. If someone asks about your hobbies and passions, feel free to share. Even if someone doesn't necessarily know a lot about a particular interest of yours, if you're passionate about something you can make someone interested.  Talk about interests that are unique to you. For example, maybe you're an expert on French history. Talk to someone about a new book about French history you're reading. Make sure, however, not to go overboard. Watch for social cues that someone is getting bored, such as them checking their phone or their eyes wandering. If you've had a lot of unique, interesting experiences, feel free to share your stories. Others will love experiencing your life vicariously. Share amusing anecdotes, stories of travel, and other unique stories you have. However, make sure not to dominate the conversation. Only share stories that are relevant, and try to keep your conversations brief.

Summary: Recognize your unique role in the group. Express your opinions. Have fun and use humor. Talk about your interests. Share your stories.
