To run away and hide. I don't like crowds, I feel uncomfortable around lots of people. I'll stay near the edge of the room. If I see someone I know, I'll stay on the edge of their group, so it looks like I'm taking part, but I'm unlikely to say anything. Just stand there like a lemon

I generally tend to do that too - even if it's someone I actually arrived there with. I let them get in with people they know, then I just stand around and feel pretty much uncomfortable.

To turn around and walk back out or hide in the corner with tea (usually bored senseless...I hate parties).

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Hide in the corner with tea? Sounds fun!

[amante-donne.livejournal.com]

I will check out if there are any good looking women. then if im feeling mischievous i will look like i have something to hide.

If i know absolutely no-one, i will move away from the big crowd, and find a corner to get drunk in.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL! :D

Good tactics :D

[amanda.livejournal.com]

"Oh shit, people" *find a corner to hide in*

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Come over and sit with me instead!

[reynold.livejournal.com]

Ummm.... yeah, am i suppose to be here?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Of course you are! :D

[jovi-diva.livejournal.com]

Get a feel for the individuals there and chat with someone! :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Good plan!

[chiropteraclan.livejournal.com]

People watch.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Mind if I join you? :D

[honuhoney.livejournal.com]

oh for fucks sake. really? fine. *goes to find a good place to sit and watch*

:D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LMAO! :D

[thedaneurysm.livejournal.com]

find someone gullible enough to do the "pull my finger" trick on.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

There are usually a few of them in every crowd :D

[katamphigorical.livejournal.com]

I look for somebody i know. If found, i grab a drink and join them. Not necessarily in that order.

Failing that, i grab a drink anyway and proceed to get silly and chatty so that others will come looking for me next time they walk into a crowded room.

If there's no adult beverages at hand... Well, what am i doing at that party anyway? O_O

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

You'd be the life of the party!

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

To square up my shoulders.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

[gillian16.livejournal.com]

Well first would be to look for someone I know. But since I have mastered the art of jabber jaw I would still be yapping it up with people I meet along the way to looking for that familiar face.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I'd love to jabber jaw with you :D

[skygoodwill.livejournal.com]

lol smart!

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

[msanborn.livejournal.com]

mine is to sit down and wait for people to come to me :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I'd look for you! :D

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

To pull out my flame thrower.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LMAO! :D

[dishapeaches.livejournal.com]

Become the center of attention and look around for hot guys.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Yup, I can see you do that :D

[bronxelf-ag001.livejournal.com]

Leave.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Smaller crowds can be more fun, I agree... :)

[the-ravyn.livejournal.com]

Scope out the room, scan the people, avoid the big mouths and those trying way too hard to make an impression because it's usually the wrong one. :P

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Good tactics!

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

Step One: Make sure I look/act confident and ready for anything (even when I'm not).

Step Two: Notice any potential threats (physical or psycho-babble) based on body language and behaviour. Then go out of the way to avoid these people in any social situation as much as possible.

Step Three: Make sure all exits/entrances are noted in case of emergency. This sort of happens simultaneously with Step Two.

Step Four: Scope out the women-folks. And maintain the ultra-polite, congenial mask for public consumption.

[l-nephthys-l.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm... I like this. Here's my steps on finding the Fox.

Step One: Look for that handsome man with the long silky hair.

Step Two: Watch him as he watches everyone else.

Step Three: Giggles to herself as she sneakily walks up to him.

Step Four: Pounces the Fox and covers his cheeks in faerie kisses.

[l-nephthys-l.livejournal.com]

If I am alone - find a spot that is not so crowded and check out the scene.

If I am with someone - like John for example - hold his hand or curl my arm in his and go with him.

I am too shy and not overly fond of crowds. Hence why the Times Square area is a place I won't be going near too often during my Manhattan adventures. Too many people pushing and shoving - ALL the time.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Heh... Rush hour on the London Underground wouldn't be a place for you.. *hugs*

[innerly.livejournal.com]

probably look for someone i know, and if there's no one, then just smile to someone that looks friendly

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

And everyone would turn to see you :D

[nowsheshines.livejournal.com]

Try not to look scared and then find the food. :P

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm Food!

My first instinct?

[shamrocks-13.livejournal.com]

Survey the room immeadiatley, I want to know and sense every person there. I am a bit of an attention grabber when I walk into a room, mostly because I absorb so much damn energy. I want to know who I am draining, lol.

Re: My first instinct?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Cool! :D

Random wandering by . . . again . . .

[curiosity.livejournal.com]

Walk right back out or, if the crowd is a loud one, beat people about the head and shoulders until the noise reaches acceptable levels.

If there's pizza in the room as well, my first instinct is to save the pizza.

Re: Random wandering by . . . again . . .

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Wander by anytime!

And yeah... Save the pizza... From others ;)

[kdawg.livejournal.com]

Quite honestly... 'Oh Shit' and that is when my anxiety kicks in! lol

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Ouch!
