I went to a party last night only really knowing one or two people. It was in really cool party though and everyone was really nice, although it was kinda a new environment for me, a gay party. Problem was I was exhausted from a long day, having had not much sleep and having to say good bye to my partner as he moved back to Chicago. So by the time I got to the party I was already tired. A few drinks later I was pooped, and smoking didn’t help. Really felt shy like I didn’t know what to say to these people. Usually its ok if I’m around new people and they talk about stuff that relates to them but I felt like I fell short everytime they tried to include me. Felt a bit awkward this morning and apologised for not being more socialable. Just a crazy day.

I don’t know if I’m shy or just have a lack of confidence or both :( I find it more difficult around new people and I’m currently surrounded by them in a new country.
Think I’m gonna try tackling this one from the confidence perspective. I know once I’m confident about myself, my shyness will begin to fade.
