I had similar feelings this year when I moved out of my comfort zone into a whole different world, as a single adult. And, it stinks! Going to the convention alone, the extent of your association being "Hi, how are you? Good. Talk to ya later." Pretending you had other people to talk to. I so missed the old days, when during lunch at the conventions I talked with my friends so much that I barely took 3 steps away from my seat. Whereas this year, I made so many laps I started to break a sweat! I couldn't wait for the afternoon session to start!
its always weird when i have to do things by myself. i'm always just surrounded by a million people. so i had recently had to start doing different things by myself and i don't like it. maybe just cuz i hate being alone. there was one time i was at my house alone and people were coming over later but it got dark and they still weren't there. i got scared. it was weird cuz i'm not afraid of the dark or TERRIFIED of being alone but i called them and told them how they had to come over right now. that was a very weird night.
