Didn't finish this thought.

I tend to break into smaller and 1:1 groups. I don't do well with small talk but I like intimate conversations. I want to feel more comfortable in crowds. Not get shy and retreat. I man I went out with is super outgoing, center of attention. Our first date he was the center of attention. I was very uncomfortable with it and a little annoyed because I like 1 on 1 attention. By the time we left the place everyone in the place knew him by name and they all said good bye to him. It was hilarious but totally not my speed. Made me think about why I am so shy--why that made me uncomfortable. I think if I want to rebuild my social life I need to learn more about what vibe I give off as a result of my shyness. I need to learn to be comfortable with surface conversation and diving into the heavy stuff so fast.

I need to get myself back out around people and make new girl friends.
