If you've ever been to a social gathering, you might feel awkward and uncomfortable. While social gatherings can be very enjoyable, especially when you are surrounded by people whose company you enjoy, there are social events that you sometimes find yourself wishing you were someplace else. Such occasions can sometimes be the cause of much anxiety and self-consciousness. You may even feel like everyone else is having a good time except for you. Yet the truth is that everyone has felt shy and awkward on occasion. One of the best ways to overcome self-consciousness or get past your feelings of shyness at social gatherings is to focus on the people around you. If you can remember that other people might also be feeling awkward or shy, you might find the thought of speaking to them less overwhelming.

The next time there is a social event you feel nervous about attending, you may want to try this exercise: Spend some time with your eyes closed and breathe deeply. When you feel ready, create your own zone of comfort by visualizing yourself surrounded in a warm white light that is protective yet accepting of others. Imagine people at the event being drawn to you because of the open and warm feelings that you are showing. When you arrive at the event, take a moment to spread this same light of loving acceptance to everyone around you.

Smile and greet people warmly. Try going up to someone who is standing alone and introduce yourself. When you show acceptance and openness, people can't help but respond to you in kind.

Focusing on how we can make other people at a social gathering feel at ease can help us forget about our own insecurities. The next time you attend a social gathering, invite people to join you in your zone of comfort that you have so lovingly and intentionally created. Let yourself enjoy being encircled in the warmth of their friendships.

1.In the author's opinion, people feel awkward at a social gathering because ________.

A. the atmosphere is unpleasant

B. they don't like the people there

C. they are too proud to talk with others

D. they may feel they are different from others

2.The underlined word "visualizing" in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A. introducingB. persuadingC. imaginingD. forcing

3.If you feel uncomfortable about attending a social event, the author advises you to ________.

A. invite some friends

B. arrive ahead of time

C. talk with others nonstop

D. be open and warm to others

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. How to make a good impression on others.

B. How to feel at ease at a social gathering.

C. How to prepare for a social gathering.

D. How to make friends with others.
