Shyness...
So I realized something about myself the other night when I was invited to a 'girls only' party, kinda like a tupperware(sp?) perty but not.
First off, I was invited by a girl I know pretty well and it ended up that she was the only person I really knew there. I knew the faces/names of a few other people because they'd been in my classes/at parties and etc but I never talked to them or anything.
Normally I'm pretty outgoing, as long as I am around just one person I know well I will open up and act like a retard and be outgoing around people I don't know.
However around a big group of girls like this, also they alll have something to do with the music department and so talked about that alot and I kind of know things but I'm not in it, thus I felt really out of place and nervous and wasn't sure what to do half the time, so I ended up being kind of scared to be in rooms by myself when almost everyone went into the kitchen, etc and I only really opened up when people did so to me.
So...now I'm worried about being able to open up to people that I don;t really know. Any advice?
