Tired of pretending to love small talk, crowded rooms, and people who use “networking” as a verb? Same.
How to Appear Normal at Social Events is your survival guide for faking extroversion just long enough to escape with your dignity—and maybe a free mini quiche.
Perfect for introverts, overthinkers, and anyone who’s ever rehearsed their exit strategy before arriving, this book offers practical strategies and sarcastic encouragement for getting through social situations without losing your mind.
Inside, you’ll
• How to nod convincingly without listening
• When to ghost and how to do it gracefully
• What to hold in your hands to look busy (drink, snack, origami—your call)
• Facial expressions that say “I’m fine” instead of “kill me”
• What to say, when to leave, and how to recover afterward
Equal parts humor and hard truth, this is not a guide for making friends or winning parties. This is about surviving them with your inner introvert intact.
If you’ve ever said “I’m just socially tired” and meant “I need to hide in a bathroom stall for ten minutes,” this book is for you.
