Many people are shy, but often it's just their excuse for being nervous in a room full of new people, or even people you know. You don't want to interrupt their conversation, or you could end up snubbing the wrong person by mistake, so you'd rather not get involved.
Now that you have been invited into a party, it's time to learn how to act in a party!
1. Look at people that appear to be social, and check what they do. Make a list of good behaviors.
2. Analyze this, discard undesirable behavior.
3. Reduce your list to 5 to 10 points of observed behavior.
4. Practice one point at a time at different parties. Don't be afraid to fail -- Rome was not built in a day.
5. Get started. When you feel ready, take the plunge. Head to a party or club!
6. Arrive 10 -15 minutes after the designated time, as that gives plenty of time for new people to arrive.
7. Smile.
8. Mingle and talk to new people. Ask to be introduced, or get stuck in and do it yourself!
9. Enjoy yourself; there is nothing more boring in a party than a worried face.
10. Include others. When you're in a conversation with other people and someone new walk up, look at him or her, smile and turn your body so that the group includes the newcomer.
