How to become sociable at parties:

1)Look at other people. They're like you-the only difference is that they believe in themselves. A silver of self-confidence goes a long way, so try to believe in yourself.

2)Talk to others around you. Don't let what others say about you pull you down; just talk it out. Doing this will help you vent to people, which will make you feel more social. Ask questions, tell jokes, do whatever it takes to start a conversation.

3)If someone cracks a joke and everyone falls about laughing, and you haven't been involved much into the conversation, join in laughing or agree with what they're saying (only if you actually agree though!). People will appreciate you and involve you more.

4)Don't be by yourself all the time! If you don't know a lot of people around you, just walk over and start talking. Most likely, they will talk back to you.

5)Remember, being social does not mean being everyone's friend. It is okay to be selective with friends and a little cautious. It's safer that way and ensures you get quality friends, not quantity.

6)Compliment other people. What you compliment them on may lead to a conversation.

7)Don't talk all the time just to not seem shy. This can get very annoying.

8)Sit with a whole group of people at lunch, not just one or two friends. You can be more sociable this way, and around a lot more people.

9)Don't act stuck-up. There is a difference between confidence and snobbery.

10)Don't over-analyse what to say before saying it.

11)Always believe in yourself. Believe that you are exactly who you want to be. Just remember, you are what you are.
