It was an old school 'friend's' house party (not even really sure why I was invited, we were like best friends in year 9 and fairly close to year 11, but since...), but she has loads of other friends (who I know of, but not friends with) who were also there, so really I was there for her and I hardly knew anyone else. All I got from her was a wave from across the room and I was basically just stood on my own, not knowing or talking to anyone for the best part of three hours. It doesn't matter how good a mood you're in, after that long it wears you down

I've had the same thing happen to me, twice. Last time it happened, I just got out my mobile and got hold of someone I knew and made them come haha.
Omg you're so like me, I'd have been watching MotD, then telling myself off for it, then working myself up about people, then worrying about the party, then going home and getting upset... More virtual hugs? *hug*
It always annoys me, because the other people there should be talking to guests who are on their own, including you and making you feel comfortable. And so should the girl who's party it was too. *hug*
Yeah, I made sure I was trying, but she was always with at least two other people, so I'd try standing relatively nearby, but my shyness is crippling when the thought of butting into somebody else's conversation comes to mind. And there were no gaps for entry! >_< I think I'm going to stay up a while gorging myself on chocolate and funny videos... V_V *hug* Thanks for listening
Aww thank you! That's cute, though that bear blinks /rapidly/. Anyway, bleh parties suck. Soon I'll get to go back to uni and I can get really good grades and work hard, just to spite the partying culture and its evil self-esteem crushing ways. *nods*
I really don't like social things either, especially when I only know one person. This happened a lot at friends' birthday parties. I'd end up sitting off by myself, waiting for my friend to be free from guests. I also don't like butting into conversations. My shyness is near-crippling sometimes. In fact, people have actually noticed that I'm incredibly shy and timid. We had to do a thing in English recently (college, of all places) where we went around the classroom and introduced ourselves to 12 people and described them. Just about everyone described me as either timid or shy.
To put it simply, I know how you feel. It's awful sometimes but...I guess it just takes the right person to pull us out of our shell. Or that's at least what my inner optimist thinks.
I hope you feel better! And I hope that your eye gets better! *hugs*
The odd thing is that I don't think people understand that I'm shy unless they already know me, I think that they think I'm refusing to talk to them. I don't know why they think that though, I guess they think I have enough self-confidence not to be shy.

p.s. Match of the Day wasn't too good, although some of the footballer's legs make it worth watching. :)
