Should I go to this party?
A guy invited me to a NYE party at one of his friend's house. I'm getting together with my family on NYE, but I know I could easily get permission to go, since I never (literally never) go out.
The thing is that I'm extremely socially awkward, shy, and quiet. To be honest, I don't want to go because of that (I'm seriously painfully awkward), but at the same time I really like this guy and he's been the only guy in a while who's really made an effort to get me out of my little shell.
So what do you think I should do?

Are you crazy? Girlfriend you go to that party and you pull off being "akward" it shouldn't matter if you are crazy and loud or shy and quiet! If you like him then deff go girlfriend, besides it's new year(: hope you have a fantastic time if you go(:

If you think it'll be too much out of your comfort zone to go alone and stay the whole night at a party - why not invite someone along? Or limit yourself to being there for 2-3 hours? That way you get to go out, but know you can leave or have someone who makes you feel a bit more comfortable there. If you think you'll have fun then you should go. NYE is about having a good time. Gl making your decision!

I think you should go! It will be a good opportunity for you to open up and become more social. Who knows, you might make a lot more friends! Spend some time with your family then go to the party. Just remember to make sure it is safe first and dont let the boy pressure you into anything just because he may think your vulnerable. Overall- go have fun! :)

You should go to the party and get out there I'm sure the experience will help you get out of that socially awkward state because you will regret it later on in life and wonder where the years went

I use to be shy too, I realized that the only way I could help my problem is by putting myself into situations that aren't very comfortable. The party could be your chance to allow yourself be a little more social. A trick I use to use was pretending I was in a movie playing the role of myself. (I know it's lame, but it worked!) By pretending I was in a movie I could change my character into whoever I wanted to be. I'm not telling you to change who you are, I'm just telling you to play your character; the smart, fun, and SOCIABLE you! ;) By adding the "sociable" into your "role" it's much easier to perform. You might think I'm a loser for doing this but it really does help! I'm not shy anymore, by the way. lol

Spend some time with your family first, then go to the party...if you like it, then stay and socialise! :) If you dont like it, you can always leave earlier. No worries. Most importantly, do what you want to do, and no pressure.
