First chance to meet friends

So my cousin lives out here I haven't seen her since we were kids.  well she is having a party and invited us. It's a great way to meet new people! She invited 54 people you see I'm not good in large social settings even my wedding made me nervous (I wanted to send some people home). At least I'll have my hubby to hang on to! Hopefully I won't have too much anxitey and be able to meet new people.

Re: First chance to meet friends

  • Don't be nervous - just have fun!
  • Don't be nervous! :) I used the be the exact same way. However, just within the last couple of years I told myself who cares if they don't like you or you say something dumb... just make the effort, and if they are worth anything then they will like you! ;) So I took my own advice, and went with it. So far so good! For instance, DH was in the Corps of Cadets at A&M. Well, his outfit had a reunion this past weekend. We went, and I chatted with so many different people. About half of the time I was somewhere w/o T just chatting with former cadets and wives. It was fun! :) Good luck!!
  • Just remember that most everyone else is nervous about meeting new people as well.  So try instead to make others feel comfortable - ask them about their lives, families, work, etc.  And when you are concentrating on that...you don't worry quite as much about what they think of you, whether they like you, what to say, etc.

    Good luck!
