Cookout

[EricJones]

Going to a cookout today. Feeling anxious about strangers being there, and potentially talking to me. Also don't want to feel awkward around my family members because no one really talks to me that much. They know i'm more mellow and reserved. So they just leave me alone , which I wish people would reach out a hand to talk to me and make me feel more comfortable. What do you think i should do about the strangers or about the fact that I won't be spoken to very often?

yeah its not a two day cookout event lol, just messn. It went as well as it could go but i'm not pleased with my isolation. there were moments when my family was talking and I could have joined the conversation but didn't and stayed on my phone
