    Hi guys,

    I'm a pretty shy type of person, but have been making slow progress and have been trying to interact and stuff more with people, tonight i am going to a meetup group, it's too a concert i think there's about 16 people going but right now i am having a bit of a panic attack at the thoughts of going - i really really want to go and will, but just scared, nervous have no idea what i am going to say to people, i would be really grateful for any advice from people.

    Thanks

    Take a deep breath and write down all your worries on paper, whats the worst that can happen?

    Go in, make polite chit-chat and small talk as best as you can. Can be about surroundings, other folks that are there, something in the news, the weather. You may make new friends, you may find its not your cup of tea. At least you can say you made the effort and had the satisfaction in doing it if you decide not to go again. If your a little nervous thats fine, but so long as you be yourself you should have no probs :)

    Enjoy it!

    Hey man,

    regarding chit chat, you have a perfect opportunity to talk about something you all enjoy, i.e. the concert. Just ask questions like how did you know the band in question etc, been a fan for them for long. If you are in a bar beforehand theres generally a tv somewhere, most likely sports been shown, ask them if they have an interest in whatever sports are on the tv, i think i struck up a conversation abotu the darts last week with someone and i didnt have a clue about darts, i just asked questions and let them do all the talking!

    Current affairs as well, leave the recession talk though, total downer.

    Work is always a big topic, what do they do etc, how did they fall in to that etc etc.

    Talk about yourself as well, what you do etc, hobbies. You are from Dublin, if you follow the Rugby, Leinster won today, have a chat about that. If its blokes, Sports are always the way forward!
