Hi, I have found that I have a problem with controlling the conversation in a group. No matter how big it is (even 3 people) I rather listen and put some comments from time to time. Id like to become the alpha male of the group.

Maybe I shouldn't be the one controlling the topic etc? Maybe it would be too tryhard?

I was in a meeting with like 5 people (3 of them my friends) and there was one guy that was annoying everyone, telling stupid stories and rude jokes and comments. I didnt know what to do to change the way the conversation was going.

Also I am going to a meeting with a bigger group of friends and some strangers (aroung 15 people in total) at my friends house. I would like to be more dominant and entertaining to the group.

Any tips?
