We both can handle a room full of complete strangers and come away at the end at least with 4 dinner invitations. HeHeHe. If we were in your situation, we would give her the benefit of doubt that she may have a hearing problem. Therefore, go near her face to face and ask her how she is doing and tell her we are sorry we missed her party the other day. Preferably touching her arm. Want to see her reaction.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-62737067809600194852022-06-13T20:30:09.354+05:302022-06-13T20:30:09.354+05:30Great blog Great blog Rajani Rehanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439571117569471650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-80597358747628871872022-06-10T17:51:48.218+05:302022-06-10T17:51:48.218+05:30Writers are over-thinkers.

I too write blog posts because I can say here what i won't say elsewhere precisely because I'll sound awkward there.<br /><br />This is the second time I'm trying to comment here.

How amazingly she writes about her daughter. Maybe you could try too! On second thought, vile as it may seem, this is a characteristic more displayed by women, but for a second let's assume the Uncle did it. I would take it as a compliment! :D <a href="https://fictionpies.com">Deepa from FictionPies</a>https://www.blogger.com/profile/08190726711949079567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-66802496563340851542022-06-08T16:38:43.039+05:302022-06-08T16:38:43.039+05:30I would have not guessed that you had social anxie...I would have not guessed that you had social anxiety in person because you write so openly on this blog. I too find crowds a chore unless I can find that one person to relate to. You never know what has happened to someone or what they are thinking, so it works best if you ignore their mean behavior. However, I know that that is easier said than done.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-12037781259939656022022-06-07T09:33:44.168+05:302022-06-07T09:33:44.168+05:30The twist was really a surprise 😅

Some people can be inherently jealous or just try to act high and mighty🙄 . Forget, forgive and move on, is what I would do in a similar situation.😇 Just focus on the genuine appreciation you received from the lady's daughter 🤩Ranjanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15025393722963836606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-82835229368442632922022-06-06T00:05:10.393+05:302022-06-06T00:05:10.393+05:30I am known in my society only due to Zaara😛😂 bef...I am known in my society only due to Zaara😛😂 before i had no identity :)Afshan Shaikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16254121368798290377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-33363804521539059772022-06-06T00:04:16.241+05:302022-06-06T00:04:16.241+05:30Ya am not a great talker too.

Her loss. Maybe she was having a bad day? But still no excuse! Glad you made the connection with her daughter, though. Maybe the neighbor was offended by something you wrote in your blog? I'm socially awkward too. I've learned to adapt to it but I prefer not being in big groups or gatherings and avoid them if at all possible :) <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-35605917998336709982022-06-05T20:13:44.177+05:302022-06-05T20:13:44.177+05:30You are not alone in this.

I am the queen of social awkwardness be it adults or kids (I treat people equally) and in my society other than a few nobody even knows I exist.
