I've got a party coming up this Friday evening and I'm dreading it. I'm not shy. I am talkative and outgoing in small groups and would probably describe myself as an ambivert. I enjoy social situations unless it is a big group. There is 30+ people going to this party. I hate being amongst big groups and feel really awkward. I want to chat and contribite to conversations but I find it nigh on impossible to get a word in edgeways, not least because the extroverts in the room never stop for breath. I'll have something I want to say, but people will have moved onto the next topic of conversation before I get the chance. I know a lot of the people going to this party and they are the type of people who like to dominate and control the conversation, which makes it hard for people like me. Anyone else get like this is big groups?
