How do I fit in?

Hi all,
So Sunday I've been invited to my sister and her boyfriends party. They are the only two people I will know at the party. I have no confidence but I don't want to be the one standing in the corner at the party. Any tips to fit in and build up my confidence? 

A quick and easy thing to do when talking to people is to listen (or look like you're listening!) to a conversation already happening, or ask people questions about themselves as if you were secretly doing a project on them. Occasionally nod and look interested.

In social events, you're playing a role, like an actor on stage. Play the role of the guy keen to find out all about people.
