Yeah, I have this too. And I work with people (mall job). People persons don't seem to understand shy people. I leave early from the company party and I got the cold shoulder for 2 months from 80% of the people I chat with. I didn't ditch the party because I can't stand them, but because I couldn't stand myself (being there).
But the worst part is this one gal I have/had a crush on. I'm fine if it's just the two of us chatting, but as soon as I'm out numbered, I'd run for cover or just clam up. I wonder if any one else has noticed.
For some reason, I better at chatting with strangers than with co-workers.
