Getting thrown into a new place isn't always fun, at least for me it isn't. I guess I'm socially awkward. I get nervous about being in large groups and having to meet so many new people. What if they don't like me? How am I supposed to make a good impression? Will I remember everyone's name?
While I love the group of friends that I have and I enjoy meeting new people that are similar to me and are kind-hearted, I have an awful hard time getting out there to even start. I wish I could just moon-walk through a crowd of people and then have everyone love me and be my friend, but life doesn't work like that.
I've learned that you have to just smile and fake it until you make it. Hopefully someone will see that you're alone and that you need someone to talk to, then you won't have to worry about hoping for someone to notice and say hello.
