Feel more confident at parties and events

Marie Claire magazine is celebrating its 20th birthday this month and lots of its staff are sharing their tips.

Editor Marie O'Riordon's was the most surprising. When she needs a confidence boost when attending events alone, she channels fictitious figures like Carrie Bradshaw.

Next time you're worried about going to that works do / wedding / large family gathering / impromptu party, remind yourself that:

1) everyone has felt similarly nervous about something
2) you can still have a really enjoyable time
3) there are countless fictitious characters you can choose from to help the event go more smoothly for you.

Don't live your life on the sidelines. Enjoy!!
