It is possible to stand around with a cocktail in one's hand and talk with everyone, which means with no one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The telephone is a good way to talk to people without having to offer them a drink.
No party is complete without cocktails! My friends all have different tastes when it comes to their drink of choice, so I like to maintain a well-stocked bar with different kinds of alcohol to keep everyone happy.
Lonely people, in talking to each other, can make each other lonelier.
Just because you can leap off a drum kit doing a scissors kick while hitting a chord, people expect you to be an extrovert socially. But I'm not always comfortable with the idea of small talk at a party.
If people are not listening to you as individuals, it's always good to get together and make a stand for something.
If other people are going to talk, conversation becomes impossible.
But the trouble is that when you drink it, you invariably meet other people drinking it.
A cocktail done right can really show your guests that you care.
There are those moments when you shake someone's hand, have a conversation with someone, and suddenly your all bound together because you share your humanity in one simple moment.
I'm very comfortable speaking to millions of people, but not comfortable in a small, intimate social setting. Like cocktail hour. I get very panicky.
