I'm not surprised that you made a splash at the party. One surprising side effect of all this that I experienced was a kind of fearlessness. After all, the worst had happened, my ex had left....so what did I care about the little stuff? If somebody didn't like me at a party, or if I was a little too loud or too silly, who cares???? I could just be myself and not worry about it, and it was very freeing.
