Lots of holiday parties and get-togethers are starting to get planned and YourTango put together a list of way to seem cooler in group settings
They are:
- Address people by their names.
- Be the person who asks, 'You were saying?'
- Be the person who keeps up with everyone's conversations.
- Be fair when someone outside the setting is being criticized.
- Ask follow-up questions.
- Ask people to clarify what they mean.
- Pay attention to others’ life changes.
- Include others in your conversations.
- Be the ‘buoy’ of the group. ( meaning lift someone's spirits)
- Be the person who approaches the outsider.
- Be the person who saves someone from embarrassment.
- Engage the group with games and activities.
