You aren't even close...You aren't a loser. You aren't even close.<br /><br />You just aren't wired to be a "life-of-the-party" kind of person. There's nothing wrong with that. You tried something new. You interacted as and how you do. You stepped out of your comfort zone just to go, and that screams winner.<br /><br />In my experience, conferences are better when you go with friends. Bond with the chicks from the D and go with real friends to BlogHer next year. If it still sucks, you can hang around here with me the year after. We'll go out to a pricey dinner. You buy. ;-)TJListhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354311352443025166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078483744873792132.post-29919703748756152992009-07-31T14:17:38.807-04:002009-07-31T14:17:38.807-04:00I can relate.

I love introversion (well, sometimes) and this last week at Syracuse was scaring me to death, only my suitemates were lovely and gave me the security I needed until I felt more comfortable venturing out on my own to meet people! They mixed us into several different small groups and it was remarkably fun. <br /><br />Don't see it as a failure on your part if you're not ready to step out. YOU are in control of what YOU do on YOUR terms and that's okay.<br /><br />Come visit me in Seattle - never mind BlogHer!Heidihttp://littleowl.com/heidinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078483744873792132.post-68503067223030922172009-07-31T11:17:39.680-04:002009-07-31T11:17:39.680-04:00I hate that feeling.I hate that feeling.Mwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954216492730746581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078483744873792132.post-73609590284451510722009-07-31T10:13:40.709-04:002009-07-31T10:13:40.709-04:00Hey Arby - I like you!

We think alike (as in, I always think about the food I will hopefully get).<br /><br />TM, if I go, I will drag you out the room and you will have fun because I am fairly good at faking my social anxiety right out of existence (which is actually all anyone else is doing, in case you didn't know that). But I might not go because ti the weekend of my wee baby's birthday so I don't know whether I can stand to be awayin the two days before she turns two. I'll be thinking it over there, and maybe get the red eye back. Hmmm.

The next time you're hungry, stop in a hot dog stand and get a beef. Ask for it, "Juicy, sweet." If you get hungry after that, order a Chicago Dog with fries. I know some great Bohemian restaurants in the southwest suburbs, too. You can't visit Chicago without sampling the culinary delicacies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358631883472544059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078483744873792132.post-795188297199921162009-07-31T08:23:47.741-04:002009-07-31T08:23:47.741-04:00I'm the same way in a group of people.
