Working a Room

 If you walk into a room, scan the crowd, and find nary a familiar face, don’t scurry away in fear. Instead, follow a few simple tips so that you can slowly climb your way up the popularity ladder. Chill, and take things slowly. Everyone has a favorite memory, and you very well know how nostalgia boosts self-esteem. So, keep a photo that brings it all flooding back by your space, and let the new confidence unleash its voodoo.

Play it cool at all times. No matter how awkward you feel, put your anxieties aside. Stimulate self-assurance and you’ll begin to feel that way, partially because of the response you receive from other people. Your sassy demeanor will draw people in, and the next time you feel a little bit nervous in an unfamiliar place, try to see the people around you as any regular Joe. They too have their moments, and as long as you haven’t done anything wrong, there’s really nothing you should be embarrassed about. Stay poised and act properly. Other than that, let things take care of themselves.

Of course, it also helps to dress to impress. Dressing up for any occasion is tricky. But, the key really lies on being appropriate to the setting. You don’t want to stick out like a sore thumb in an outfit that leaves a lot to be desired. As sad as this fact is, when you know that you’re not dressed for the part, you can’t help but feel self-conscious. A lot of questions come to your head: What if I changed? What does this person think of me? Do I really look that ridiculous or can I get away with it? Is there something I can do to remedy the situation? You’re just too busy with all these questions that you don’t really know how to react to the situation. That’s why, before any party, make sure to ask how they expect the guests to dress. When you can’t have access it to this sort of information (which is really unlikely), basic rule of thumb states that it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed.

Look people straight in the eye when you talk to them. When you’ve found a new friend, it’s important to convey interest in them. Ignore everything but the person with whom you’re conversing. Refrain from checking your watch or your phone while talking with someone you just met. It’s rude and it tells the other person that you don’t want to be with them right this very minute. Nonetheless, be a bit mysterious when trying to attract new people. You’ll look more intriguing when people don’t know every detail about your personal life.

To work the room, there are no hard and fast rules. Instead, simply look at these things as a sort of guide. It’s worked for many in the past, and if you want to be remembered by the people you meet, you should be pleasant, warm, and not to forward. After all, personal space can only be crossed after a given amount of time bonding.
