2. Start conversations with strangers

At the party, you likely won’t know everyone who is there. This is great, as it means you have the opportunity to strike up some conversations with strangers. You might even make a new best friend for life. But first, though, you need to have the confidence to approach people. Don’t worry: as long as you’re polite and relaxed, people will be happy to talk to you.
