Hehehe, yeah, I've had some absolutely cringe worthy moments that I look back on and think "Oooooooooooh my god I can't believe I said that and how badly I handled that situation". But hey, yu learn from it and become a stronger person for it!
I still get put in social situations that simply frighten the shit out of me, but hell, I'm much better at just rolling with the punches and knowing when to just bow out.
Some people are just naturally very social and do this kind of thing with complete ease. It has never been something that has come easy to me and took a lot of effort and demon facing to get passed. But I have to say, all the terrifying and painfully awkward moments were totally worth it.
