A birthday party of a friend a few years ago. I’m extremely bad keeping a conversation up with strangers who I have nothing in common with and that was basically every single person at this event (except for the friend who was very busy naturally). I was also the only person who was alone there and didn’t know anyone really. After a few brief awkward short conversations I started keeping to myself, playing on the phone, trying to look like I don’t care, but people noticed and my friend tried to put me in groups. But I could just not fit in with them and the fact that I would need this kind of help socializing made me feel even worse. I could not drink because I was there with the car, that would’ve loosened me up a bit. It was horrible. So I drove back home and watched a movie.
