I like the idea of giving myself a goal of business card distribution...that alone feels like a way to give a safe structure to group time! and more permission to rest! thanks!

It's only for the evening, but to date over 200 people have RSVP'd. I will definitely be looking over this before I head out. This is very timely.

These are great ideas. My favorite is to seek solitude. My next event SxSW I'll go for a walk in the middle of the day to collect my thoughts. Thanks.

Realised that I hold myself to weird standards when I go to events - that I need to push myself to meet people and be 'bright'. Went to a book reading the other night, and just have myself permission to be a bit shy. Ended up asking loads of questions, but at least I didn't spend all my energy on forcing myself to do things which, from a certain perspective, are fake anyway. Glad to see I have company. :) Hey Alexia

Thank you for these tips. Highly reassuring to know that other highly sensitive people are out in the daylight, mingling with the extros at conferences. I'll look for you all with your novels and stuffed tigers! I am taking this as permission to bring Jane Austen with me everywhere! Thank you for these tips.
