Me sharing my excitement.

Do your best to NOT find a corner to hide in.....you don't have to be the center of attention, but try to mingle a bit.....breaking out of being shy is like learning how to ride a bike, takes a bit of practice, but it's a skill you can use all your life - it dosn't have to be perfected, just start engaging....trust me, humans are social beings and it's actually in your DNA to communicate with other humans....smile, nod and just take it slow.
