My social ineptitude

I don't remember always being so "shy" (hahahaha) in public situations. I guess it's worsened quite a bit since I've moved from Wisconsin. I hadn't realized how bad it was until Jess's wedding last weekend. I wanted to mingle with people and have a good time, but I just got very nervous and stayed a perpetual wall flower. I don't like it, but it's so strong and irrational that I can't overcome it.

I know that it's not my fault and I shouldn't feel bad about it, but I do. I don't like it at all. It keeps me from doing other social things and I don't really feel like explaining my oddball social anxiety to folks so I end up making excuses.

Anyway, thanks Jess for a lovely weekend. I did have a good time, even if it didn't look like it. I feel like I've missed so much of our family's lives since I moved away, but I wasn't going to miss that. Congratulations to you and Jake! Let me know when the pictures are in!
