Breaking into established social circles

[DesiBro]

Hi guys,

I've got a question which has been bothering me for a while. How does one break into an established circle? If there are a group of friends at a bar or at a party or whatever, how can the feeling of awkwardness be averted?

Today, I attended a graduation party of a somewhat distant friend. Everyone else in attendance seemed to know each other, and I just felt out of place and awkward. I ended up leaving within 15 minutes because I had no idea what to do...

Some advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Bump. Surely somebody has some ideas?

Desi,

This is a rather broad topic, but there's an article that comes to mind that should get you started in the right direction as far as talking to guys in established social circles:

This should get you started in the right direction!
