When attending group get-togethers are you the sort of person that needs to have a support group with them?
Or a wing man?
Do you have the confidence to meet up with people even though your “besties” won’t be there?
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
I just don't go out anymore. It's hard to go out to a desi gathering especially and just go up to someone you don't know and start talking. I do it every darn day at work, have no desire to spend time after work making a space in people's hearts. Doesn't matter, it doesn't last long anyway.
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
No. I can initiate and carry on conversation without any help from others.
but will I have same amount of fun as with my 'besties''? probably not.
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
When I was younger I used to need someone to be there. Not now. I can hold a conversation or hang out with myself if need be

Depends on the people there? I can be really shy...so if it's a bunch of people I don't know and have never met, then I would do my best to be friendly with everyone...but still kinda stick to the person that brought me there (or the host if they invited me).
Otherwise, if it's people I know but am not too close with, then I don't really need a "bestie"....I think I can hold my own pretty well. Don't think this was the case when I was younger.
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
I don’t mind as long it’s people from non-virtual world. I met few guppies and guppans and had no idea how to react. I made quite a fool out of myself…not going to meet anyone from interweb again. :sid:
I shouldn’t have hugged them all tightly. Damn.

Its always more fun with besties because you have so much more to talk about and can enjoy each other's company as well.
But if need be, I can go alone too. I used t be really really shy about meeting people but lately I've been forced to get over it fast.
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
I really enjoy meeting new people and LOVE striking up random conversation. Sometimes my besties hold me back as they are more shy.
If its a hot guy though I need a wing woman.
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
Its more fun wth beasties, but even sometimes they r not here still I can mange talk n make new friends :)
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
I always go without my friends!
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
I can handle myself alone quite well 
.
Muzna it depends on the group. Certain groups are very closed and cliquish so a newcomer has a raw deal.
Typically, I would not want to waste my time with such a group do it does not matter anyways.
Most situations I am fine on my own,
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
Why would one want beasts for support in a gathering?
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
Depends on where I am going and who is going to be there.
If i know I'll be seeing a group of people who are not very welcoming, I wont bother. But other than that, I am generally quite ok with talking without having my besties around..
Do you need a Support Group?
Im the shy quiet type that sits on her table checking her phone if I am at a dawat where I don't know anyone but I don't mind being akeli!!!
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
^ Really?!
im the opposite.. id go upto random people and start a conversaiton. Its another thing that they walk away after awhile :halo:
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
I guess I've been to so many events that striking up a conversation is really not that big a deal for me.
I'm just surprised by how childish people can be.......I mean once you're beyond 30 I'd expect that you can hold your own in a gathering.....and that too if the gathering has people that are not exactly new to you. (rant over)
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
People are so clicky here, so I don't like being alone..........I can do it if need be but would rather have someone I know present.
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
Never. not even in high school, I was always friends with everyone, people hung around in groups and I would spend 10 min here and there with each sets 
I learned this from my dad and uncles, we can all strike up a conversation within seconds and over the years I got really good at it
In my personal opinion confidence is the only accsesory I need to match with fashion and style 
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
I am more confident getting into get-togethers on my own compared to going there with someone.
