I was at my gf's Christmas party with over 200 people there. The DJ played tunes that she liked, but not much stuff for me. I let her go dance by herself and she doesn't push me to dance to things I don't dance to. However, there was another couple at our table, plus 4 women that talked together in their group the whole time without approaching me. So, I walked outside in the cold to be truly by myself for a while. It hurts more having the opportunity for interaction with no success, than the opportunity not being there in the first place.
I don't expect my gf to come looking for me, as I don't have any "leash" on her, but it still bugs her when I leave. But she knows I was picked on in high school and that has left me being shy, which is why I don't approach others very often. She's quite the opposite and outgoing, (and so tolerant and understanding of me). I need help dealing with shyness, but no advice from anyone who was popular or halfway popular in HS.
