Why is socialising so hard?

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 .

    I actually hate socialising and I hate having To engage in awkward silence. But I do not see how awkward I am, I’m awkward in general but social situations make it worse. 

    I feel like everybody Is embarrassed when we go out or people come over because I can happily sit there in silence. 

    I even struggle with immediate family as they don’t appear to understand me whatsoever.
