Answer 3

I can honestly say that in situations like this a little alcohol in your system would not hurt, especially if you're someone who's shy. Get  enough liquid courage inside you to make up a conversation about the most tiniest things but not enough to go home with the first person you meet.  

Answer 4

Yeah.. try bringing a friend. If you go to a party and don't know anyone it will probably be kind of weird.  

Answer 5

bring a friend with u

or make new friends!

Answer 6

just talk to pplz

and it will be cool!

Answer 7

You can always use an ice breaker such as

'I really like your glasses"

"Oh my god, I love your shoes"

"Where can I get a glass of wine?"

"So, how do you know___?"

"I just love her couch/this restaurant/the egg rolls.'

Answer 8

if you're over 21 of course: Have a couple drinks of liquid courage b4 you go.  Then don't be afraid to look like a quiet person. There is nothing wrong with being a little shy, just be friendly, make eye contact and smile.  Eventually someone will start to chat you up.  When they do just ask them lots of questions about themselves.  People love to talk about themselves and will naturally like you because you listen to them.  

Answer 9

Be quite drunk, stick with someone you know reasonably well if there's oneeeeeeeeeeeee

If you really don't know anyone at all, don't go maybe? =[

Answer 10

i can do it with steps

1. visualize target

2. stand next to him/her

3. say some random thing like : Good party eh?

4. talk away

this is kind of risky, cuz some people like to be jerks, and like, ignore you, but you can't gain if you don't risk  

Answer 11

Its called Alcohol. Drink it.

It helped me!

I'm usually very shy and introverted but became friends with people i didnt know while i was drunk at my friends B-day party.

Just don't drink TOO much, you'll end up puking and forgeting a lot of stuff.

Have fun!

Answer 12

Why are you going to a party where you don't know anyone? Find a friend or have your spouse/sig other go with you.

You have to know at least one person to be invited to the party even if you are not close. Seek out that person and thank them for inviting you.

Walk around and ask one or twp people how they know the host/hostess. And maybe that will open up some "doors" for you.

Answer 13

Forget your anxieties for the day and just enjoy yourself. If you feel too anxious, find a quiet spot and just hang out.

Answer 14

listen to others and then join a subject you know about.

Answer 15

It might be scary the first hour, but then a party hits its stride, other people are drunk and you fall into a conversation with people.  It's not easy to relax on command, but you WILL enjoy the people there.  

Answer 16

Practise things to say to people, think of conversation starters ahead of the party.  think of what you will say to people like something interesting you did lately.  Think of questions to ask Like "have you been watching the Olympics, oh I love the weightlifting etc etc"  Just have a few lines ready to lead into and keep coversation going.  Once the ice is broken, convesation will flow.  Just think of a few things to have on hand when you find yourself next to a stranger.
