Have you guys ever felt out of place?
Where it seems like everyone else is doing their own thing, has their own crowd, and are completely comfortable? And you’re there, feeling like an outsider. Feeling like you don’t belong, lost, and you just want to run away? You feel awkward because you don’t know what to do, and everyone else doesn’t seem to have that trouble.
I hate that feeling. I’m a shy person when you first meet me, so I don’t go up to random people and say hi to them. In fact, when you first meet me, it may be hard for me to keep a conversation going, and we’ll probably have a lot of awkward silences. I was never good with first impressions, so don’t expect me to be normal when you first meet me.
I wish I wasn’t so shy. Maybe then I wouldn’t feel so out of place as often.
