anybody has to ve on this situation sometimes when someone feels like uncomfortable but cnt do anything but to find his own comfort. like for example, if a person is invited to a party where he supposed to have fun but no one on the place seems like interested of talking with him and he starts to get uncomfortable of beeing like a wall flower. would you leave the party and say goodbye to people or youll find your own way to keep your self busy (like eating) hehe.. i hate being on this situation.. but ive been onto this many times already. i cant make my self go home eatly coz most of the time the event is far from my home. instead, i find a way to keep my self busy (depends of what event it is) like for example, when its a simple birthday party, you'll find me on one side reading my book with a drink. how about you? what do you do?

Well, in a party where no one seems interesting, I would normally be out of there, even if the event is far from my home. I'd go find some place interesting place to go. However if no one is interesting or interested to talk with me either, but the food is good, well, I'd be eating. When I was young, I was the wall flower type. I was too shy and quiet. But as I grew older, I've encountered a lot of people at work, clients, etc, I outgrew my shyness. I've learned to approach people and start conversations easily anytime.

Well, I suggest you go out and make new friends around you. When you start working, you will surely meet a lot of other people, just the way I did. Good luck!

I would not go somewhere... unless I knew at least some of the people. If I did not enjoy the party... I would go home. And after going home 3 or 4 times... I would quickly learn not to go anymore. So the question is... Why do you go?

Comfortable in front of the computer - A snapshot of a man sitting comfortably with his laptop.
For now, my comfort is whenever I'm in front of my computer. One of the things that makes me uncomfortable is when it is brownout or the electricity is down. I can't seem to accept the fact that I wouldn't be able to open my computer. In short, computer is the one that brings comfort to my sanity. Comfortable - Providing comfort; agreeable. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/comfortable

Lol... no you should not leave the party unless you have a really good excuse such as; some one's tire is on flat and they need your help, the kids is locked out of the house, or something of that nature. Other than that, just leaving an event is rude. I have found myself a million times not interested in the event that I am attending. Mainly because i attended just because they were either family, friends or some associates of mines. I am almost positive that I could have found a tons of things to do on that date. I will never go to a corner or another area and seclude myself because that is not fair to the person's event that it is. I agree with you when you say find something to do to pass the time.... I just hope that their party would be at Chuck e cheeses or Incredible Pizza becaue there is alot to do there when you are bored.

well, after reading lots of the responses, i can say that the next time i'll be in this situation, i'll try to get to take the initiative and talk to someone,or get myself busy with something to pass the time..and if its the worst case scenario and its helpless..then i'll leave... but honestly i dont like the idea of leaving an event..i usually stay for the end..i pass the time by wondering around and searching for people also feeling uncomfortable :D

I have been this kind of situation many times too. Usually, it's not polite to leave in the middle of the event, so I'll just stay there, finding things to do. If I can find someone to talk to, then I'll do so. Otherwise, I'll just look around, see if there are any interesting things happening around me, or just pretending to look around, just to pass time. If I'm allowed to do so, then perhaps I'll make call to a friend and chat with him/her, it's easier to pass time if there is someone chatting with you. Yeah, usually if I am allowed to read a book, then I'll definitely bring along a book with me. It's so much easier to pass time if we can read.

Ive been to this situation and I hate that moment. I was actually invited by a friend(not close that time) for dinner with her some other friends. She said that she might feel uncomfortable because her friend is also bringing her set of friends. I said yes and attended that dinner. It ends up that she is talking to the friends of her friend and I was left talking to nobody. That sucks!. I keep myself entertained by texting to my friend and saying that I'm damned bored...After that, I make sure that I am with the right company in attending parties...

I have been in this scenario b4 too ^_^ The first thing i will do is to find food, find one corner and keep eating, after which, i will just walk around, explore the whole place, and disappear from my frenz for about half an hr or so.. After which, go back to them again, and start to be involved with whataever they are talking.. Even though it's not to my interest, at least i let my presence be felt ^_^ hehe

This happened to me 2 weeks ago when we had the Fall Festival. I went there because it was my first time and to let the people know I am cooperating. I was actually with a friend but she cant seem to stay long with me because she has her son with her and she follows him around. I was just standing there , walking and finding somebody to talk with. I saw some parents and my students but cant be with thme also . I left the place and went home which I think is the best thing to do in that situation. I wont stay if I am not comfy. I hate not to be nice but I would look more stupid if I stay longer.

I think comfort can be found by spending time by yourself or resorting to talking to as many people as you can. When I am at a large family party or simply with friends, I usually always have a good time. If I feel that the party is not interesting and the people are too shy, I just move on the next person and the next. Sometimes as a last resort, I just park myself in front of the T.V.!
