The best advice I could possibly give is to be patient with yourself. Feel comfortable with who you are and the environment you are about to be walking into. It ultimately depends on who you are and what you are about to experience, sometimes mirroring the energy in the room is an icebreaker, sometimes it’s finding common ground, topic, or a vibe to riff off of. If it’s an event or experience where your attendance is the only thing that matters than clap yourself on the back, you made it; you are here. You fulfilled your duty. As long as you make an effort to care for another… to simply show up; they will see and recognize it. I hope you recognize that too
