Strangers are really friends

How do you treat people you've just met?  I am innately shy and have to force myself out of my comfort zone when I meet new people.  I'm always affraid I may say something stupid and they won't like me.  Or I'm scared they will think I'm lame/a loser/boring/ foolish, etc etc.

But if you take a chance you never know what you may win.  I was at an event recently where I really only knew one person well.  Everyone else knew each other, so we were the odd men out.

Since we were going to be together for a long while I decided to try to reach out.  With the help of humor, an open spirit and alcohol, I can proudly tell you I have a few new acquantences.  Plus, I had a good time.
