Tips For Having Fun With People You Don't Know

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....
As much as you might not wish for this to happen, there will inevitably be times in the course of your life when you will be in a social situation where you do not know anyone, and where you are nevertheless expected to mingle. Regardless of whether the situation is at a wedding reception, at a work event, or when you end up with a group of your friend's friends, one thing that feels "natural" to do is to wait for others to come up and talk to you, but even though this is more comfortable, it is not necessarily the best approach to take.

Before you do anything else, you will first want to make sure you are being approachable, which means policing your body language to make sure you are not subconsciously telling people to stay away from you, but rather, that you are open to chatting should someone care to approach, and the second thing you will need to do is be willing to approach others and start up a conversation.

Making sure you are being friendly toward others is another big key, and while this sounds fairly obvious on the surface, it becomes very easy when you are in a situation where you do not know anyone to start judging others and making assumptions about them, instead of keeping yourself open to chatting with and being friendly with every person you might end up in contact with.

And once you land in a conversation with someone, you will want to push past the "surface" things that many people tend to talk about when in conversation with someone they do not know, and you will instead want to try to find some sort of common ground on which the two of you can share and converse together.

You may not stumble upon a lasting friendship through one such situation - but then again, who knows; and at the least, you will be able to enjoy yourself when you are in one of these situations, having much more fun than you would usually have around a group of people you do not know.
