Party pro Just like getting good at a sport or musical instrument, being comfortable in new situations takes practice. Follow these tips to become a party pro.

“Be me” Tell yourself this simple statement—and practice it regularly! Being myself means I’m:

• confident;

• happy with who I am; and

• OK knowing I’m not always going to be perfect. (Who’s perfect, anyway? Nobody!)

Strength in numbers If your friends are also invited to the party, go together. That way you have a built-in support group to talk to, dance with, and depend on. Having friends around can help you relax.

What to bring

• Gifts: If it’s a birthday party, try to ask the hostess questions that will give you clues about what gift she would like.

• Food: Should you bring any snacks or drinks?

• Other items: Is there anything you need to bring, such as skates, music, or a sleeping bag?
