I am relieved to have that one person to cling to at a function where I know nobody. It can be uncomfortable if all you do is follow them around like a puppy and hang back while they talk to everyone else, but if that's the case then I'll just break away and find somewhere in the crowd that I can blend into until everything is over.
Welcome. We are the most active MBTI group on LJ (at least that I know about). There are several other NT and MBTI comms around here but the ones I know about have gone dormant over the past year. (You could always go poke them if you want.)

Yeah, I know what you mean. I AM different among friends than strangers and I can't help it. Having the mix just . . . confuses me.
Sometimes, too, it's worse because the friends will tell the strangers things about me and my personality that aren't really true until you get to know me. Which means there's this burden of expectation that I can't live up to. I'd much rather start with a clean slate.
I must be demented. I'm less comfortable in a room full of people I know. I don't know anyone in RL all that well, so I don't know what a "room full of friends" would be like. But in a crowd of strangers? I'm fine. I'm witty and outgoing and SO much the person I wish I could be all the time! There's just something about knowing I'll never see these people again. I don't understand it.
ETA to clarify: It has to be "strangers" I won't see again, like while traveling. NOT people I'll see again, like new cow-orkers on the first day of a new job. Or a new boyfriend's parents/kids/friends. *full body shudder*
