Do you ever geek out at social gatherings that might be not be in your comfort zone? I’m sure you’ve been to at least a few of these, where the waiter can’t fill your wine glass fast enough to get you through the night. When you feel like a fish out of water the first thing you need to do is relax. You don’t need to suddenly grow legs and walk on land, but you can learn what land is like by trusting who you are and sticking to what you know.

A few years ago, I made some new rules among my friends and family to not feel the need to call me and let me know when someone says something awful about me. It usually sounded something like this … “Jenny, did you hear how bad you got ripped by so-and-so on that show?” 

Since most of you are on Twitter, I was interested to learn who YOU enjoy following and why. I wasn’t surprised to learn that we were following many of the same people, but there were a few names in there that made me happy I asked the question.

We all know someone in our lives — or maybe it’s you — who overuses their favor card one time or ten times too many. This can make or break a lot friendships, and it’s up to you to stop it.
