Careful With Your Drink Placement
Socializing can be tough, especially if you're feeling nervous or introverted. It's natural to want to hold onto something for comfort, like a drink, but where you hold it can send unintended signals. Holding your drink in front of your chest can make you appear closed off or defensive, as though you're using the drink as a shield.
Instead, try holding your drink down by your hip. This small adjustment in body language can make you appear more approachable and open, making it easier for others to engage with you in conversation.
