Gt granddaughter is 1 today. She's having a party tomorrow. I'm going but am dreading it. The whole socialising thing outside of immediate family/stepfamily is so damn hard . Initiating conversations a no no, body posture - am I looking gone out/like a freak? , sitting their in awkward silence while the conversation flows around me .
No, you're not alone. I always felt as if I'd have to start a conversation. An ex of mine was an extreme introvert and would just sit there and have people talking to him instead. I never got that, nor did it happen to me, and I don't feel comfortable waiting for someone to start a conversation while I sit there waiting.
