The one mistake he will not make is to hang back, to show that he is uncomfortable, to act as if the topic were too deep or farfetched for him to enjoy. This is the unforgivable fault. And it is a fault of which well-meaning, rather bashful people, possibly newcomers to a crowd, are often guilty. The newer you are in a crowd, the more interest you must show in the talk. Often it will be about old times and friends unknown to you. Then it is all the more important that you pay the most interested attention, leaning forward, rather than hanging back, so that you will soon be initiated in the "secrets" of the set. You must show so much interest that the others will not be made to realize self-consciously that what they talked about might not have been interesting to you. Because the talk of a new set is often about unknown personalities, a shy or modest person almost feels as if he were eavesdropping on confidential matter. But once he is in the crowd, he must not feel that way, If it is a general conversation, he must have his eyes follow every speaker keenly.
Similarly when topics are discussed which are beyond your range, you must take particular pains not to hang back or look disinterested. Precisely then is it important for you to attend interestedly, to follow each speaker with your eyes, to learn what can be learned — and to watch for a cue to change the topic to something more congenial.
Once you are talking yourself, even though you got the floor because of someone's kindly question, you will make sure to take in the whole group with your eyes. This is an art which must be learned. A public speaker addressing a thousand must somehow manage continuously to sweep all of them with his eyes. A good talker in a parlor must continually catch the eyes of everyone who is supposed to be listening. Very many people fail to do this. Very often, owing perhaps to a subconscious nervousness, a talker keeps staring at the one who promoted the topic or who sits in the most prominent position or who appears to be most sympathetic. But no matter who raised the subject, or who is host, any remarks that go beyond two sentences must be carried not only to the ears but to the eyes of all present.
Everybody must be made to feel all the time that he is a full part of the party. How much or little you talk is of less importance than that you actively make everybody feel that you belong to the circle, and that you make everyone else feel that he belongs, too. This is good Christian neighborliness; it also brings its immediate reward. It will enhance your friendships, multiply your invitations, and cause people to remark on your interesting "personality."
