The first thing that came to mind was how last year I had to go to a fancy fundraiser all by myself. I wasn't exactly forced to but my boss couldn't make it and asked me to go in his place. I was surrounded by a bunch of rich baby boomers. There was no one my age or social status. I fit in better with the wait staff and security guards. But as it was a halloween function I got to wear a mask so it was easier to deal with. The free wine helped too.
It was unfamiliar so I didn't know what to expect and could deal without any trouble. Christmas shopping is often hellish and I know what to expect from large crowds. I'd rather go in blindly.
Hahaha. I can completely relate with fitting in better with the wait staff, security and valets at such events! I mean, I adapt well in any setting, but... I got your point. ;)
Leaving your comfort zone??
