Surviving Office Party as an Introvert

Are you an Introvert? Then you need this!

Most of the time you just like to stay in your world without interacting with anyone but the truth is, you cant escape engaging your colleagues so long as you have an office where you work. So you will find these tips handy at your staff or official party.

  • First Thing: Plan ahead. Psyche yourself ahead of the day , put yourself in the party mood, determine what you may likely chat about at the party and set of who you may be comfortable talking to.
  • Consider the party  as part of your compulsory job schedule, show up, participate as a team member  and you will survive it!
  • Make sure you wear clothes and shoes you will be comfortable in.
  • Avoid eating and drinking in excess so you wont start feeling sleepy at the party.
  • Get busy if you don’t want to talk to anyone, you may just assist in co-ordination of food and drinks at the background such that you will escape boredom.
  • Resist the urge to be on  the phone as an excuse to talk to your team members. Avoid excessive use of phone.
  • Don’t forget you cant leave early except you have an emergency, so you will only leave when others are leaving to.
  • Remember to make sure you greet your Boss and commend him or her for putting together a fantastic party. He will make a  mental note of your attendance and the fact that you are pleasant.
  • Goodluck!
