How to party if youre shy, socially awkward or just plain boring

Three writers who struggle with socialising explain how they make it through festive season

Fanny Brice was right. People who need people are the luckiest people, at least when party season rolls around. Imagine, if you will, wanting to go to a party. Imagine knowing that you will have a good time - that the mere experience of being around people fills you, as a matter of course, with joy and contentment. That you go home with a spring in your step, a song in your heart, a smile on your lips - refreshed, restored, rejuvenated and ready for the next one.

Shielded by Russia and China, Myanmar Junta Turn More Brutal
(Bloomberg) -- When Myanmar carried out the death penalty for the first time in three decades by executing four activists in July, China and Russia stayed silent while the US and its allies condemned the junta. Now the regime is on the verge of doing it again.

Europe's big question: What a diminished Russia will do next | CNN
Europe's challenge now is to deal with Russia in a state of chaotic denial, while hoping it evolves into a state of managed decline. One abiding comfort may be that, after underestimating Moscow's potential for malice, the risk for Europe would be to overstate its potential as a threat.

Zelenskiy and Putin signal desire to break war’s deadlock in new year
Russia, as Putin's speech made clear, is preparing for a long war. Roughly half of the 300,000 people mobilised last year have yet to be deployed on the frontline, and Ukraine is warning that a fresh mobilisation could come within days. Even if Russian munition stocks are dipping, Ukraine may find it harder to gain ground in any future counterattacks, if its adversary deploys its forces effectively.

In the picture, the 6-foot-3, 300-pound defensive tackle is holding Daniels effortlessly in his left arm like a toy, while holding up his right hand, signaling No. 1. That\'s exactly where he might be drafted, as Mel Kiper Jr. has Carter projected as the No. 1 overall pick. In the six games leading up to Saturday night\'s semifinal, Carter accounted for 24 tackles, 6.5 TFLs, three sacks and a pair of forced fumbles.

First look at Rose Bowl: Keys to victory for Utah, Penn State
How Penn State wins: The Nittany Lions need to be able to establish their running game and take some of the pressure off Clifford. The Utes really get after the quarterback. They\'re tied for eighth nationally with 38 sacks and will do their best to get Clifford in third-and-long situations. The best way to avoid that is to have success running the ball on first and second down. Penn State will be without top cornerback Joey Porter Jr., who is skipping the game to prepare for the NFL draft. The Nittany Lions have created a ton of negative plays on defense and rank seventh nationally with 95 tackles for loss. That\'s going to be important in this game, as Penn State tries to prevent Rising from getting into a rhythm and instead force him into mistakes.

Fantasy football Week 17: Mike Evans, Travis Etienne Jr. dominate when it counts
Kirk Cousins, QB, Minnesota Vikings: After three straight games with 24 or more fantasy points, Cousins scored just 7.9 points in the Week 17 loss to the Packers. That\'s his second lowest total of the season. Ball security was a major issue here, as Cousins tossed three interceptions, while also losing a fumble. And with the Packers defense erasing Jefferson from the route tree, the Vikings simply didn\'t have answers in the pass game. Cousins will look to rebound in Week 18 with a very positive matchup versus the Bears defense. -- Bowen

If the Titans go with Dobbs, does he give them a chance to beat Jacksonville? The ongoing saga for the Titans has been finding a way to make opponents pay for focusing on stopping running back Derrick Henry. A passing game with Dobbs at the helm would add much-needed balance. Dobbs has the ability to be utilized in play-action, RPOs and designed quarterback runs. He has the arm strength and the anticipation to get the ball to most areas of the field with accuracy. That\'s a plus for the Titans as they travel to Jacksonville to face the Jaguars for a chance to win their third consecutive AFC South title. -- Turron Davenport

Yet almost no one had access to the information necessary to make that story more accurate or reveal the basis of that success.
