Tough Talk,
I have a cousin who is constantly inviting herself to parties by people she just met or barely knows. She acts like everyone is her best friend and it creeps everybody out, but she just doesn’t pick up on it – pushing her way into parties and dinners where she is a complete stranger. It’s always at the last minute so everyone is surprised when she shows up and starts acting like everyone is her long lost friend. I love her and my aunt and uncle, but she is embarrassing. What’s your advice Tough Talk? (Enderbee, Maine)
Enderbee,
Your cousin’s need to crash parties is related to a latent personality trait that would take too long to discuss. The best thing you can do is find the most cheesy, disgusting and seedy bar in your area and send her there for the next happy hour. When she asks what happened, make something up and keep repeating it until she takes a hint.
