I'm going to be so awkward today

[rjamz]

I'm going to a baby shower for a friend and I won't know a single person there. Ugh! I'm so awkward in those situations! I never know whether to just go introduce myself to people or not. I usually just awkwardly stand around. Eeeeeeee!

I should go. I don't want to go. It's not nice not to go. Why couldn't she have invited H too? He was her friend first! (They go to med school together)

I hate situations like that and always dread going. Good luck! Are you bringing the baby with you? That's always an ice breaker!

[rjamz]

Nope, baby is staying home to hang with H. I just looked at the paperless post invite and it looks like it's a small shower - like 6 people, which I think will make it a little easier

I hate not knowing anyone. Hope you don't feel too out of place.

Good luck! Maybe she'll introduce everyone?

I always dread stuff like that, but end up having a decent time. Have a few go to questions, any kids? What do you do? Where are you from? Then conversation will flow :-). Hopefully the food will be good!

Hopefully a glass of wine (or 3) will make people friendly? Have fun!

Good luck, you'll be fine!!
Let us know how it goes.

I would never have thought of having go to questions, but that sounds like a really great suggestion. rjamz, I'm the same way and sometimes just end up hanging out by the food...not good!

So it went really well, I'm actually just leaving now. There were only like 8 people there and a bunch of them had gone to med school with H so we had him to talk about.
