[quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like they like you and are proud of you, and therefore want to share you with their community. That's a good thing! I'd also note that while you say your ILs want to help you make friends, they are really trying to share their friends and community (and therefore themselves) with you. Did your ILs have the opportunity to invite their community to the wedding in the first place? FWIW, I'm a total introvert, but I do fine at parties where I have a job to do. Here, your job would be to meet the people who are like extended family to your ILs and to find out about their life and community. "So, Larla, how long have you known ILs? Did you spend time with DH when you were younger? What was it like to grow up in Town X? What should we do with the kids when we visit?" [/quote]
