I don't like people

I really don't. I don't mean that I don't like anyone, I know lots of nice people that I really like and enjoy spending time with, but I don't like being surrounded by lots of people all at the same time.

I 'had' to go to a new vicar's licensing last night. Unfortunately both the people who came with me were important people who had to go off and robe and process with the bishop, etc, etc. I found myself very close to running away and coming back at the end to pick them up. Fortunately I saw some people I knew so I could sit with them and then I felt a bit better.

After the service I found myself on my own again, despite it being packed. Again, I was hoping for a corner where I could safely hide. I have concluded that one of the following must be true
1. I am very boring and people do not want to talk to me
2. I have mastered the art of becoming invisible (I like this one the best)
3. Everyone else was with people and it just turned out that way

While I think number 3 is the most likely, it strikes me that there might be other people like me around who just hate being in large groups of people they don't know very well and aren't very good at just going up to people and starting a conversation, in which case there's no point getting bothered about it because there must be lots of people stood on their own, but then I feel really stupid?

Why didn't they have lessons on this at vicar's wife school?
