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
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
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.
Re: Do you need a Support Group?
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.
