Loners

Nowadays, I'm more upfront about things. I get stage fright when I'm going into a room of people I don't know, or even a room with many people (unless I know them quite well). I think most people feel a little uncomfortable around groups. Some people don't, but most feel at least a tiny bit of shyness. You are not alone.

With regard to saying weird or odd things, that's often me. I frequently say things that make people raise their eyebrows, but because I laugh a lot, I think it passes and people tolerate me and end up laughing as well. lol

If I were in a situation in which I'd received a 'half invitation,' and wanted to attend, I'd call up and say this:

"How are you?! Boy, this weather is something else! I don't even know what to wear anymore! By the way, I wanted to thank you for having invited us to Christmas that time we talked. SO, what time would you like us to be there on Christmas, and should we cook something and bring it?"
