Try talking to new people. I am a very shy person myself. But after staying there for awhile, you'll eventually start to open up. Maybe some people will come up to you and make you feel welcome. I've went to a party before. & I knew NOBODY there. It was all of my moms friends. Actually, I knew 2 people. But they were both 3 & 6. I am 13. So I will not enjoy playing with blocks along with all of the other little kids. There were 3 teenagers there. They all came up to me and asked if I wanted to hang out with them. Maybe that will happen to you (: You can also explain to the birthday girl that you know nobody there so if she could introduce to her friends that will be attending the party as well. Hope I answered your question. Have a nice time at the party ! Just like you're friends say, You WILL be fine ! Talking to new people won't kill you. You can do it ! (:

I know the feeling, first of all YOU just got invited? That is kind of odd. I feel the birthday host or whoever is throwing this party needs to go out of there way to make you as a guest feel comfortable and talk or send people your way to talk. I would either not go or just go and if you are alone just stay for a little bit and leave.

I think that you should take this opportunity to use whatever charisma and intelligence you have (You obviously have a lot!) and make NEW friends, too!





Don't hold back because you got separated from the clan. That fad is from, like, 1,000,000 years ago with the cave men, it is out of STYLE!





Just kidding, :) but still, try!!!! What can you LOOSE!!??





Pros:





Cons:

look for someone else by themselves and shy and then make friends with them.

Talk to people.

I got invited to my friend's birthday party that's today in a few hours. I really want to go, and it's too late to do otherwise, but I'm not going to know anyone but the birthday girl. My cousin was supposed to go but for some reason can't. Another friend of mine was supposed to be there as well; however, I'm not sure if she'll show up either. So here I am worrying about being alone in a crowd of people who all know another. What do you suggest doing? I've tried asking advice from other friends, but none of it has been useful so far. "You'll get through it" & "You'll be fine" is not very encouraging when you know you could possibly be the only person off to the side, twiddling their thumbs & watching their phone for the time. Anyone else been in a situation similar or have something to offer that might help better my problem? Thank you for your time and answers; I also apologize in advance if this is not the correct category.
