Last night I helped out at a community event near me. Once everything was done, tents put up, etc, it was time to kick back. Things became a bit sticky at that point.
One thing that I'm really hopeless at is mixing/mingling with a group of completely new people with whom I have precious little in common. What exactly am I supposed to say or do in situations like that? Focussed tasks, okay. "Hello Blah Blah, this is Steve", okay. Aimlessly wondering around vaguely looking for some social contact: nooooooooooooooooooooo!
It's a dyspraxic thing that I've never been ever to really deal with. Every now and again, an event comes along and I think: "Come on mate. It'll be fine." Oh no it won't. Oh no it wasn't.
