[quote=Anonymous]Your post basically describes me and DH, except that DH is less introverted than I am, so he does ok at somewhat structured social activities like work happy hours and block parties. I still find it very tough and wait for people to approach me instead of approaching them. Honestly... what helps me is having an alcoholic beverage as soon as I arrive. I don’t drink a lot, but an initial glass of wine really helps. It also helps to have a drink to hold. We also just had a baby last year, so this is going to sound terrible, but it’s a relief being able to take our baby to events help me have something to do and talk about. I’m not standing around awkwardly, I’m purposefully tending to my daughter! You may find therapy helpful. I’ve never tried. But I also don’t have any friends in this area despite having living here for 8 years, so perhaps I should try it. [/quote]
