- You’re standing in a group of 3 or more people.
- You know at least 2 of the other people.
- The 2 people you know may not know each other.
Introduce them to each other!
You’re not 100% sure of the names of 1 or more of the other people? Introduce them anyway!
You’re 99% sure they know each other? Introduce them anyway!
You really dislike at least 1 of the other people? So what? Introduce them anyway!
You’re afraid that someone will roll their eyes or make a snide remark when it turns out that everyone already knows each other? Yes, it happens. Introduce them anyway!
You’ll get better at it with practice. Trust me.
I will always remember with deep gratitude the times that people have introduced me to other people. I’m a firm believer in paying things forward.
