Introvert coping techniques for big party?!
Question:
Introvert coping techniques for big party?
My best friend is throwing a huge party on Saturday.
And it's mainly people I don't know too well or know at all. They're all going to be drinking.
I'm really introverted and thus this is really, really terrifying.
I'm useless at starting conversation and really shy, does anyone have any tips for ways I can cope?
P.S, my friend doesn't understand how I am having problems with this, she's not the understanding type.
Answers:
People love talking about themselves. Instead of allowing conversation to focus on you, which introverts don't enjoy traditionally, talk about the other person. Ask what they have been up to, any fun trips, ect. Make conversation.
