It’s a universally accepted fact that extroverts are the life of the party. They’re the ones who walk into a room full of strangers and can immediately start a conversation with each person around them. But what about introverts? Are we doomed to wallflower status forever? The short answer: no! The long answer: yes, but there are ways you can learn how to approach new people in a way that makes it easier for both parties involved.

Tell yourself you don’t have to do this for long.

Remind yourself that you don’t have to stay here. You can leave if you want. You can also sit at your seat or table and enjoy the rest of the event without talking to anyone else. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to break out of your shell. You are allowed to leave events if you feel uncomfortable. You are allowed to not have to talk to anyone if you don’t want to!

Strike up a conversation about your surroundings.
