And for those of you of a praying disposition: I have to attend DILs Baby Shower tomorrow. More people than I normally see in a week, most strangers. I'm freaking already & about ready to flee howling into the mangroves. As that's not possible I manage to behave like an adult ~ mature or otherwise...

There will be a quiet person trying to keep to themselves. If you get them talking about their interests you'll get a beautiful smile at the end of the party. It's my favourite party strategy
You got this @Ribh !

Spiders are clever. It will find a way out.

Thanks, MJ. I will have WhoDat's blanket with me. Figure if nothing else I can get in some great crochet time. I can talk & crochet. I can see the blankets piling up while I wait on buttons. Ah, well...

 

[MaryJanet]

Yep, great idea! For sure people will want to talk to you about it.

I hadn't thought of that. Always surprises me 'cause I think of it as so easy & doable. Mind you, YD has dyspraxia & her crocheting is unbelievable ~ really awful.

It's really easy to think what's normal in our own everyday life is normal for everyone. But that's a misconception. Other folks ideas of normal are waaaay different from our own, and just as unique and interesting

Every single time I do a psych test, I come out introvert. Every. Single. Time. But I looove people and take huge delight in the company of others. If it's one or two at a time, it's much easier to connect. A party is simply a whole lot of ones or twos.

As I constantly have to explain to my extroverted friends, introversion is not a dislike of people; it is how you gain your energy. People deplete my energy ~ fast. Alone time gives me energy. I can only people for so long before I'm exhausted & crotchety. lol I'm much nicer when I've had plenty of time with just me, the chooks, the cats, good coffee & lovely sunrises!

 

[MaryJanet]

Yes! Exactly.

This is one of the most insightful things I have seen posted here. You have summed up so much of what we humans have problems with in a quick paragraph. I may just print it and tape it to the wall.

I struggle all the time training sales people that their perception is not the customers. Until you understand the other person's point of view you can't form any meaningful relationship. In the end people buy from people. You need to connect and understand. Not in some creepy way but with respect. Understanding that they still may not buy from you but that's ok.
