Shyness
Why am I so shy? And what, if anything, can I do about it?
This sums up pretty well how I often feel, when in a large group setting, or someplace new, or a combination of both:
I tend to freeze up, or stay apart and keep to myself. So I end up missing opportunities to meet new people, to potentially make new friends. Most of the people who know me somewhat well can't seem to believe that I'm a shy person; but i am, oftentimes to an almost crippling degree.
30 years old, and still shy to a fault. WTF?
