well, it helps if you say hello and introduce yourself to make your guests feel at ease. It also helps to have a little insight on your guess. For example, if someone is attending who likes to garden, ask them some questions about it. (How long have you been gardening, what do you fine easiest to grow, what’s in season?) If worse comes to worse and you’re still stuck talk about the weather.
I would not be like John not having trouble with visiting. Need to make guests feel welcome in their home. We though are having no Year Eves Party. I just want to survive my BD.
Ask them about something that makes their eyes light up like a hobby or kids. They will do the talking. Do the occasional nod, question, or such as soon as a gap starts. You run the chance of being bored, but you won’t have to talk. Also people who are interested in something may eventually find a connection with something you are interested in.
I don’t really understand his behavior, I must admit. Presumably these 12 people are their friends, right? And he’s met them before, and talked with them before? Why’s he freaking out over meeting people he knows and presumably likes?
Or did Ellie invite 12 strangers to their party – which is also weird? Either way, this makes no sense.
Try serving spinich dip and cocktail weenies wriapped in cresent rolls. All you have to do to start conversation is to talk about your work, hobbies, music, and a few jokes sprinkled in.

He’ll have to stuff hardware in their mouths so that he can talk to them.

I like to open with a joke. Try this one: A priest, a rabbi and a Klingon walked into a bar…….

Some people can soon run out of things to say even with people they know.
