I've found that most everyone is just as uncomfortable, and if somebody starts talking it makes it easier for everyone else. I appreciate your honesty. Good luck next time!Linda Hensleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929626735450807904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6585735867883325710.post-1327106696136590522011-05-07T16:27:46.247-07:002011-05-07T16:27:46.247-07:00I flee parties all the time.

Well done on going alone.<br /><br />I'm like TJ usually I can talk, sometimes I freeze. It is a matter of practice. A technique for next time... take business cards and say "Hi I'm Susanna of TYT who are you?" if a potential client you have cards ready to give them, if not the cards give you something to do with your hands.<br /><br />Keep smiling :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511653763073963362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6585735867883325710.post-54521645186760285952011-05-07T02:03:10.729-07:002011-05-07T02:03:10.729-07:00Thanks for being honest....we all have these momen...Thanks for being honest....we all have these moments, and I think you were brave to stay as long as you did and certainly to share it. Yes, I did have a giggle, but felt for you. If it had been me I wouldn't have found the stairs! Oh, and by the way, when you go to NY make sure you know the way to the airport (just in case!).ann @ studiohydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615115294267727281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6585735867883325710.post-70552811714593887872011-05-07T01:22:12.650-07:002011-05-07T01:22:12.650-07:00Heey Susanna!
First of all, thank you for sharing...Heey Susanna!<br /><br />First of all, thank you for sharing your story with us!! And don't worry, I didn't find it that embarassing as I think a lot of people have this. I know I do!!<br /><br />In my mind I have pictured how events like this would go for me. To be honest. I don't know. Usually I can talk, be cheerful & happy. But sometimes and I don't even know how it happens, probably because I'm scared not knowing what to say, I just freeze and don't have anything to talk about or it will be kinda forced -_-. I'm not that good with small talk hehe. I either start rambling and people either understand me & join me or they look at me slightly weird. Now I haven't been to an art event just yet, there was one 2 weeks ago, but I found out too late. <br /><br />I think it's just a matter of practice and you will do just fine eventually! How AWESOME that you will go to NY, that you found a bizz partner and that the concept is approved :D. That's super cool!<br /><br />Ciaooo XxxTJ Lubranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893305234181263717noreply@blogger.com
