What is the best ways to get on with people?

I don't know goodly what is the best ways to get on with people but reading the answers of the others persons, I presume that the best way is not beeing shy. I think we also must be sociable. Now, it's more easy to get on with people because of the new technologies (Internet) and the distances are smaller. With the Internet, sometimes they are ploblems because persons are laying about himslef (age...).
