Take stress out of meeting new people
If you find social events taxing, take comfort in knowing you are not alone in this. Many people are nervous about what to say and find it hard to relax. Welcome events and parties can be especially demanding, especially if you are not fond of crowds and noise. If meeting people is stressful, take it in stages and don’t expect too much from them. Aim to learn, at least, a few names and faces and to let others become familiar with seeing you around.
