“The most exquisite paradox… as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible.”
― Ram Dass
What kind of party is it? A smallish birthday party where you tend to sit in a circle-like shape or a larger event with more people, a bar and louder music? In either case, just have a drink or two, enjoy the music if it's good and the female beauty if present . Engage in a little bit of conversation about a random topic, people generally really don't bite .
Borné dans sa nature, infini dans ses vœux, l'homme est un dieu tombé qui se souvient des cieux.

Get merry, but steer clear of getting too merry.. I've made that mistake at parties where I know no one.. incidentally years down the line, the person whose party I got far too wasted at became one of my best friends, she was a bit confused as to why I drank so much before I arrived haha. At least if you know no one, the chances of seeing them again is minimal. Relax, look friendly, have a glass of something in hand. It's all good

I'm not really a drinker, but - yeah - I'll probably just try not to be too terrified. If I listen to a podcast on the way, a more talkative mood might overtake my shyness. Weirdly enough, this sometimes actually works.

Take apple juice in a short glass, water it down with some ice, no one will ever know if it's good enough for Roger Sterling its good enough for us mere mortals haha.

I think it's probably not the healthiest if said thread is also regularly used by others to drop in and point out just how crazy said person is.
Better off locked.
