How to make someone feel comfortable with you
Introduce yourself.
People are more comfortable if they feel that they know you. You can help them get to know you by introducing yourself at the beginning of any conversation (unless the person already knows you).

OPT: (A). Even simple introductions can make a big difference in the way a person treats you. Join a club, craft, sports team, or community center. (B). Try having some conversations with them on television or on the internet (one-on-one). Or you can just say hi to a stranger (by sticking out your hand out and saying " hi " or " how are you? ") and smile at them. (C). When you introduce yourself, look the person in the eyes, shake their hand firmly, tell them your name, and say something like " it's nice to meet you. " It is also a good idea to repeat a person's name back to them by saying something like " it's nice to meet you, john. (D). However, be sure to set aside a time and place where the person can do so without being rushed. For example, you might meet a person at a coffee shop--just avoid places with loud, crowded people, like the dollar store or the mall.
