So last night I left the house to join a few friends on a pub crawl through “Mexico.” I figured it would be a good opportunity to get out and meet new people. It wasn’t a complete failure. I talked to a few people. But at the same time I was reminded me how much I don’t like being in extremely crowded social situations.
I am not a people person. Small groups are good. Even small groups in a bar are ok. But when you enter the bar with a herd of people that is already crowded, it gets a little scary. I start to feel like a lost kid in a crowd who has lost their mom. I stayed for 75% of the event but after awhile I needed to go back to my posse and just hang out for a bit. For some people, liquor helps these situations, After 1.5 beers and 3 vodka tonics, I was still feeling lost and alone in the sea of people.
Towards the end of the night 10hdg and M were back to the usual shenanigans. Trying to match up their single friends with random strangers in the bar. This time I managed to escape because they had another victim for the night. I also think that they sensed that I was exhausted from being around people for the previous 6 hours. I was at the point where I may have gone fetal if I was rejected by a random stranger. I would rather walk off disappointed that I wasn’t approached by anyone that evening.
Can I keep it down to one rejection per month? I think I could handle that. At least until I get my rhino heart.
