Wow. How well you know me?! Forgot to mention needing to directions to the necessity and purse hanging on shoulder or arm with its complete inventory for comfort. Maybe she could tell the joke about the man and the genie. And exit.
Oh, yes. I finally made peace w/ my Introvert. I decline those events that I know will make me uncomfortable (chaos w/ loud, undisciplined children, for instance), and go to those I think will be okay. Even then, I prefer substantive one-on-one conversation rather than schmoozing. I’ll even take myself to a quieter place, and more often than not, someone will join me who feels the same way. Sending hugs, sugah pie.
About 40 years ago I met a dear friend at a party that I didn’t want to attend. I was sitting there looking introverted and she sat next to me. I admitted I was an artist and that was enough for her, she talked to me until I responded. I think that might have been the last good thing to happen to me at a big party. On the other hand I am a performer and welcome talking to large groups. Maybe it’s the back and forth of conversation that I find so daunting. Hi there Darlene, glad to hear from you, hugs, nicole
Events are the devil. Avoid them.
Hmmm. I go to a party hoping to connect with maybe one person. Then it is a success. If I don’t meet that one person, maybe I will have had one good conversation. I don’t have high hopes for parties but often they are fun to rehash!
