Hi Jen, I am definitely like you. What I say is I am not a people person. I am very uncomfortable around large groups of people even if I do know most of them. I am not a good conversationalist, so I don't say much. Then I go home and beat myself up for not talking or getting involved. Or I will say something that is extremely stupid or not right for the situation and go home and beat myself up for that (not literally, of course). So the end result is, I usually go home from parties not feeling very good about how things went. Long answer, but my way of saying I know how you feel.
