Many times, I would go to a gathering of some kind for the first time. I would see people having conversations with others at the gathering, but no one is interacting with me. I've told that I need to interject myself into others conversation in order to meet them and get to know them.
The thing is, I'm a natural introvert, and from my point of view, this would feel like an awkward interruption into others' conversations. I try to not be an egoist, but I feel that new people should be approached by someone, such as a host, and be invited into conversation instead of feeling like I have to bully into them. Is this a fair assumption to make?
I tend to feel that if I'm not invited into others' conversations that they don't have any interest in me. I know that's a paranoia at work, but doesn't the expectation that new people being in the assertive role simply an acknowledgement of a heavily-favoured extroverted society? Thanks in advance for any insights and opinions on this subject.
