Article: Working with someone who has a serious mental illness like bipolar disorder can be challenging. Share your thoughts and feelings with someone close to you, like a partner, best friend, or counselor. Try to avoid venting to someone who knows the person or who works with you. Choose someone who is unbiased, but who can offer support and compassion. For example, you might tell your significant other, "Babe, I could really use someone to talk to about my coworker. He has bipolar disorder and I'm finding it hard to work with him." Have you noticed someone who is especially gifted at interacting with your bipolar coworker? Ask this person for pointers and share a few of your own. You might say, "Hey, you really sidestepped a meltdown there. What's your strategy?" Resist the urge to come off like you need help dealing with the person because of their mental illness. Simply say you'd like to interact with them more effectively. If working with the bipolar person presents challenges, have a conversation with your supervisor. Ask for help improving work conditions and make suggestions regarding accommodations you think could help you or your coworker. Your boss may not have noticed any issues or may not work as closely with the person to be able to determine what they need. If you work closely with a bipolar colleague or this person is a friend of yours, you may want suggestions from people who understand where you're coming from. A support group will allow you to get feedback from those with bipolar disorder and their caregivers. Contact local mental health agencies or clinics to find a support group in your area. If you find the group helpful, you may even invite your coworker to join you at meetings. However, only suggest this if you have good rapport with the person and they have disclosed their condition to you.

Article: If you're invited to a dinner party, bring a gift or a dish, like wine or a dessert, and pay close attention to your table manners. Stay away from your phone during conversation and be friendly and cordial to everyone you meet. with others in the social scene. Talking behind other people's backs and dumping friends to move up the social ladder is the worst socialite stereotype. Avoid behaving this way yourself by remembering that a truly confident socialite doesn't need to put others down to feel strong. When others try to involve you in gossip, simply say, "From my experience, he's a wonderful person," or, "I don't know her very well, but she seems sweet." Keep your comments positive and don't say anything bad about anyone--it may come back to hurt you if you do! Strive to make one good connection with each person you meet: maybe you both scuba dive, enjoy baseball, or frequently visit art museums. These similarities will help people remember and like you. First, utilize the connections you do have, from work, school, or family. Keep in touch with them regularly and attend social events with them, asking them to introduce you to their friends and acquaintances. Get contact information for new acquaintances and treat them to lunch or coffee. When they plan a guest list for their next party, you'll be at the front of their mind. As your circle of acquaintances grows larger, remember to keep stay close to your best friends. You'll need someone who understands your ambition to be a socialite, who will have your back no matter what, and who you can trust and confide in. Conventional wisdom says that you should date--and, eventually, marry--into a rich family. Sure, it's a bonus if your spouse or partner has connections in the world of old money, but it's definitely not what you should look for in a life partner. Instead, date someone you care about and who is interested in at least being social by coming with you to parties, meeting new people, enjoying the challenges and excitement of working your way up in society together. Post them to your own social media or pose for a photographer at an event--the photos may even end up in the society section of a newspaper or magazine. Be relaxed and confident. Say, "We both look amazing tonight. This needs to be documented," or "I told myself I'd get one more picture tonight. Are you in?" The last thing you want is to come off as desperate to established socialites, and the best way to prevent this is to exude confidence. Sit up straight, walk tall, and act like you belong. If you believe it, so will everyone else.
