I think it’s astonishing how we handle ourselves around strangers. Every situation is different.

People on the street: ignore them.
People in the movie theater: hate them.
People at a party: shun them.

Not that I mean you should hate people at a party but do you mingle or cower in a corner, not wanting to be pulled out of your shell?

Are you a serial party-pooper? Going to parties to not mingle, waiting for someone to light up your night instead?
or do you cancel at the last minute, offering some lame excuse to your host and even worse reasons to yourself?

Make this Halloween different. There are parties everywhere. (Guys, how to handle yourselves at parties step-by-step.) Go out and enjoy.

No invites? Invite yourself to a local hotspot, dress to wow them and have fun. If you can get past the first few minutes, AND MINGLE, you’re going to have fun like you want. (Girls, how to not get cornered by a loser at a party, step-by-step.)

If you “hate people but love crowds” then Halloween parties offer you the sense of anonymity that you won’t find throughout the rest of the year. Dress up, do your best to enjoy yourself. And get at least 2 phone numbers or emails from people to meet up with later in the week.

You’ll be proud of yourself!
