A rooftop bar. Two hundred strangers. Your drink is sweating in your hand and everyone else seems to already know someone. You don't. The only way out is through — pick a person and walk over.
The conversation caught. They laughed at something you said — genuinely, not politely. Now you're in it, the rhythm is working, and your only job is to stay curious longer than you stay nervous.
The event is over. You're in the elevator replaying every conversation. Some of it landed. Some of it didn't. The real question isn't how you did — it's what you actually learned about yourself.
