What would you do if you're stuck in a table with strangers?
A friend was asking me to join him last weekend to hangout with him and his friends..
I thought it'd be exciting to make new friends, but in the end I found myself alone there.. Hahaa
Everybody in the table was busy and talking about their jobs, lifes, etc
Some made jokes which only their others can understand..
I forced myself to fit in, tried to understand their topic, to get into their circle, but I got zero responds
They even don't care about me, and just ignored me
I really felt uncomfortable and stupid at the same time,
I really wanted to go home that night
But I didn't since my friend picked me up, hahaa.. And I'd have to walk if I want to go home.. Hahaa
So then I browsed the internet through my cellphone, well at least doing that would comfort me, and wouldn't make me feel stupid for keep sitting there.. Hahaa
If you were me,what will you do to comfort yourself?

I guess we are about as opposite as you can get. I would have been more than comfortable in that situation. I am awkward with strangers or crowds. I am more comfortable being somewhat invisible. In fact I find I enjoy myself if they just go about being themselves and ignore me. I listen and am entertained and in time, I usually will fit in. I'm more than ok with being ignored. I kind of get to know the people just by observing. If I have something to add to the conversation, I will. More uncomfortable for me is when someone tries too hard to include me and puts focus on me in an attempt to put me at ease. It's just not natural. See I would have been really interested in hearing about their jobs and lives etc. As for private jokes...that may be when I would ask for more details. Don't take this wrong but I think getting on the internet might not have been the best solution to your situation. I could be wrong.
