I abhor birthday parties for his friends. I feel so awkward and out of place.
This is just my normal. I've always been this way so I know it'll never change. And I'm comfortable with it now.
So, I don't have any suggestions, but I do understand.

I cannot believe it.....you described me to the letter! I'm the same. I've been uncomfortable around pretty much all people since I was young. Very few people are able to penetrate and break through to my "comfort zone". I have one friend who I enjoy chatting with and would spend some time with if I wasn't so sick and she lived closer .....I'm comfortable with my close immediate family only. I've been this way forever too, so I don't see it changing although, I wish I had more desire to socialize,......... I accept now I probably never will.
