Peopling can be totally exhausting sometimes.
Twenty minutes into the party, I was already exhausted. There were almost twenty families there, but I only knew about three. One of them was a woman who had snubbed me in the past, and any social courage I could muster was flying out the window. MyAs much as I wanted to make friends, I didn’t know these people wellI can chat one-on-one pretty easily. But racket it up to more than that, and I become overwhelmed. I can’t remember names. I can’t remember whose kids are whose.
. You go into it with the best of intentions, of course. But when you see that crowd, your stomach knots up: literally, most of us can feel that terrible embarrassment-turned-to-physical-feeling somewhere in our midsection. We suddenly lose the ability to act like normal humans. We don’t know where to stand, how to stand, who to talk to, what to say, how to say it, and how to say it without sounding like a complete ass.
I did the same thing on a girls’ weekend once. Too many people at the same time. Even though I knew they all wanted to be my friends, when I was confronted with all of them at once, I froze like the proverbial deer in the headlights. All my social skills dove out the window, and I was left with either the ability to blurt out stupid shit or keep my mouth completely shut for fear of embarrassing myself further. I stuck as close to my bestie as possible and let her do the talking for me.
