i'm very introverted, i somtimes wish i weren't, but i am...and it makes my social life uncomfortable. i really don't like parties, no matter HOW good a party is, i'll probably feel myself wanting to leave several times through the night. i'm an observer...and if i i were able to just be invisible and watch from a distance, i'd feel far more at home, but the fact that i have to make pretend i like to be social makes me feel like a fake and i wonder if people can tell that i feel like a fish out of water. there are times when i really cant tell at ALL how i'm comming off. i don't know what amuses people at parties...i'm usually most amused by deep conversations on topics i'm interested in, but i think party people would find my conversations dull. i'm also looking to meet guys, which makes things even MORE confusing. i don't get men at ALL. i usually feel like they're ignoring me at first. i have no idea if i'm attractive or not, so i stay fairly reserved unless a person shows interest. i was talking to these two guys at this party i was at tonight, they were kind of joking with me...i really enjoyed the conversation and they were both staring at me A LOT. at first i think they like me, then i wonder if they're single, then i decide they're too attractive and probably are staring because they think i'm weird. how does one figure these things out? i tried making eye contact back....and as i left i gave a good stare, but i didn't get a number....so who knows. idk, my friend says i'm naturally really funny when talking to others....but i always feel like an akward fake. does any one have any tips on how to be social and how to read people in party settings when you're just bouncing from person to person.
here's me...but don't rate! just a visual. (i'm 20)
