I always used to feel so nervous in crowds of mingling people. Blushing, sweaty hands, didn't know what to do with myself, I used to think that no one wanted to talk to me and it would make me feel even more nervous.
One time after talking to someone I had randomly met (after I had... a few drinks and was able to socialize semi-normally), we talked about first impressions. Through talking she said that she had seen me at a few exhibitions before but never talked to me because I looked unapproachable.
It made me realize I was being really selfish by being so awkward. Everyone is insecure, and when you're pretty people assume that you have less issues in your life. So if you're not chatting everyone up, I guess most people assume it's because you're choosing not socialize, not that you're actually freaking out inside your head.
IIN to be physically attractive but incredibly socially awkward?
