you can break in. you just act like you belong and have some credential that impresses people. a job title, a connection to a particular person who introduces you.

but most important is humility. and honestly, it's not that hard. the intimidation factor stops a lot of people from trying. it's not nearly as hard as people make it out to be.

you can always be part of the convo. just have a personality and talk about what you want to talk about. don't be afraid to ask "what's that?" or ask someone to explain.the fronting is what drives people nuts. not the not knowing. it's not as "mean girls" as people make it out to be.
