Hello Everyone
 I have made a new friend at college. This person is friendly, down-to-earth, genuine, ... list goes on. And her family is the same way. This type of friendship is all so new to me that I dont know what to do...im in shock. I dont want to mess it up. Tomorrow I have Christmas party to go to at her home and I only know her. There will be around 20 people there. I tend to shy up and become boring (in my mind) when I am surrounded by strangers. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to cope? Zen888

hi Zen, in the past ive learned that smiling is one signal we can send that we are friendly... this then puts us into a place where we will need to be confident in ourselves if we are approached.. having inner confidence is developed after several interactions with others.. being in a friendly crowd definately makes this work easier... until you have defined your personal boundaries well enough, be careful who you smile at, but its still ok to have a friendly feeling towards others inside
