one thing I always detested is eating lunch or dinner with a group of people. So I usually avoid them, but what's the point of going if I don't have the outgoing personality to fit in?
is it worth going to dinner even if you don't say much just to show face?

You sound like the most boring, defeated, awkward no-fun-to-be-around self-pitying loser in the world. Life is about spending time with other people, especially over food. If you have nothing to say and can't enjoy this experience, you need to stop whining about how your life sucks and embrace being alone and ignored for eternity. If you never break out of this idiotic shell of yours, you'll never be happy. Seriously, what kind of woman would want to be seen with a wimpy person who can't even enjoy a lunch or dinner with a group of people? I hope you don't question why you have the problems/social issues you do. They're staring at you in the face.

Four thousand posts on an internet bulletin board and you say life is about spending time with other people? Get off the computer
.To the OP, I'll tell you a secret. Many of those people with the "outgoing personality" are just as socially inept as you are. They're faking it.
And yes, it's worth going to dinner even if you don't say much just to show face.
Yes it is. If you need some alone time after, that's fine. Say something polite before you go and don't leave abruptly. Introversion is fine and healthy, but don't let it run your life. Do make contact with others as well, you may find other introverts you enjoy.

its not hard to get al ot of post. considering many have been here for nearly a decade.
But going out for dinner or even making a big dinner with friends is great. i enjoy doing it.
we try to go out with friends at least once a week. sadly it usually ends up being 2-3 times a month.

wtf? i have that much and dont post here after work or on weekends at all.
for the record, sometimes ill go out with a group and never say 3 words. other times ill talk incessantly. its usually worth going, at some point youll find yourself with something to say and likely join in the conversation.

Your number of posts on an internet forum has nothing to do with how social you are. I personally don't watch television, so I turn to the computer or the internet for entertainment, yet still manage to go out and enjoy my friends pretty much every night.
Plus, four thousand is weak sauce.
I put the "winky" face there to indicate that I was kidding! Most of the high-count posters are interesting folks.Originally posted by: buck

And, I'm posting from work myself.
