"Kalim, can I ask you a question? Um . . . How are you so good at talking with people at parties? Most of the time, I just stick by where the food is and not talk too much unless a person directly starts a conversation but you seem pretty social at parties. Can I have some advice? I have a bunch of parties coming up and I'm not sure if I can handle it with advice from a social butterfly. . ."
His aura and expression were radiating calmness and a sense of understanding for your troubled heart.
Being the firstborn made it hard to get out of certain duties and pushed him into the center of attention more times than he will ever be able to remember.
It was good enough that he could remember the names of all of his siblings.
"Maybe the reason I can do this most of the time is that I'm pretty much used to it. I've been talking to everyone and anyone since I was a little kid so my boundaries are probably differently positioned than yours."
Kalim was used to socialising and huge parties and he had to learn from an early age how to entertain people, keep up the mood and cater to everyone.
"It's not a bad thing to stick to the food. If it's delicious then eat up, you know? No need to force yourself into talking with people. But if you want to you can try talking to a person you know and are close to. Do what makes you comfortable even if the situation doesn't really make you."
He then patted your head.
"And if you cannot handle it, take a break, step aside, take a breather. Make yourself look busy or just keep eating the food."
