Kudos to you for taking care of your body and yourself! As for socializing, I don't think there are any hard and fast rules, but I will try to share a few tips.
Clothing--Wear something comfortable, preferably an outfit that you've already worn. That way you won't be tugging at your sleeves or shirt tail while you are trying to talk to someone.
Drinking--Have a drink or two, but don't go overboard. If you drink in moderation, you'll feel more relaxed. However, it's never a good idea to use alcohol as a crutch.
Socializing--This part can be a little trickier. When you go in, find the host or any other friends you know. Hopefully, they will introduce you to new people. When you meet a stranger, ask how they are doing and remark on some detail of the party. For example, you could ask how they know the host. Be sure to pick questions that don't have a simple "yes/no" answer. This will keep the conversation flowing. If they mention an interest, such as sailing, ask them about it. If you have something in common, great. If not, I'm sure they'll be happy to teach you something about their pet subject.
If you still don't feel very comfortable, you could ask a friend who's already invited to the party to go with you. A wingman can be a helpful component of socializing.
In the future, you may want to pick up some self-help books related to socializng. The Art of Mingling is a good choice, as well as most Dale Carnegie books, but there are others, as well.
BE YOURSELF!! stop worring what ppl think...:):)good luck!! have fun hun and it'll be ok
Just go and be yourself. If you don't worry it'll work out fine. Wear something sexy with make up. Drink if you want. Just try to have fun!!! You can do it!
Awww, this is a huge step for you! You should be very proud of yourself! Congrats!
First of all, wear something comfortable--you do not want to be self conscious of your outfit. Secondly, only wear makeup if you normally do so--I would not recommend trying any new techniques right now--you have enough other things to think about. Third, do not drink more than a couple drinks--you want to be of sound mind so that you can take in how you feel and remember all of it tomorrow! Fourth, flirt your *** off!!! Finally, just be yourself--I am willing to bet that you are a really fun, friendly, cool person who just needs to believe that too because everyone else already thinks it.
Best of luck and again, be proud of yourself!
Just be yourself, wear make up if you usually do but I wouldn't over do it on the drinking if you haven't drank in some time.
Have Fun and Good Luck!!!!
I agree, wear something comfortable, wear make up if that's what you normally do when you go out. I wouldn't drink, and I say that from experience.... sometimes when I used to drink I got really emotional and thought alot about my weight and other issues. I personally wouldn't eat just because you might start over analyzing what people think about what you eat.
I assume you are young. Dont drink!
just go for ot girl go on
