How I Survive Awkward Party Moments

Last weekend, I found myself hugging the snack table, brain totally blank, feeling like the most robotic person in the room. Here’s what’s helped me loosen up, even when I’m deep in my own head: • Every few months, I pick up a random hobby—like baking something wild or joining a quirky online group. Suddenly, I’ve got fun stories to share. • If I’m stuck in a convo, I toss out open-ended questions like, “What’s your favorite way to unwind?” It gets people talking and takes the pressure off me. • I’ve started using my face and hands more when I talk. It feels weird at first, but people actually respond to it! Do you ever freeze up at parties?
