i try and look really cool then i have to fart and spend hours out socializing trying to hold them in.
sometimes i have to let them out. they suspect me, but i act so cool that they think its the ugly guy next to me.
Heres to good looks!

i'm a really shy fellow, but i've been doing my damndest to improve and talk to people more these days... i find alcohol does really lower my inhibitions... but it's still tough, just because i don't have very much in common with a lot of people i meet... once i can assume a don't-give-a-fuck attitude, things usually go alright

I drink liquid personality (Irish car bombs or chilled vodka or something) and usually sit back and listen to what's happening.
I talk to people if I have a good crowd and we're in a socializing kind of mood.
I like being above the crowd or not on the radar mostly... trying to change that, be more personable, but who knows

trying to make sense of 1000 crossed conversations usually tends to make shite of my head... so I either STFU or talk to people I already know. I'm a little lacking in social skills :(

I sit in the corner and try to act natural. I fidget if people around me are drinking, so I typically need to hold something.
Even in a room full of people I know, sometimes I'm just thinking, fuckers, you KNOW me, why do you want to force a conversation with me just because everyone else is?

(hevquip, you're awesome! bricks rule!! =D)
personally, i... depends on how much people i know, of course, also if there is alcohol for me to get drunk... sometimes i feel uncomfortable and i want to scream.. when i'm not feeling integrated in the group, and i'm feeling weird and very lonely... which is often, in fact. i'm not suffering from loneliness when i'm fully alone, but i am when i'm with friends chatting with other friends and other people but not giving a fuck about me. but well, i'm rarely in social situations, i'm never invited to parties, and i'm feeling quite good at my university. =)

Try to find some sort of common ground with whoever I'm talking to. There's no point boring them talking about electronic music and there's no point in feigning an interest in something they feel really passionate about if you're just going to end up listening, nodding and going "mhuh" every minute or so. My general approach is to steer the conversation off all over the shop till either they mention something you have an interest in or you can tell from their reaction that something they've said interests you.
In group situations, I don't make a point of being an outsider, but I won't try to integrate either. To me, large groups are the things lynch mobs and riots are made of. The bigger the group, the more stupid (generally) and the less important your opinion (or even reasoning) is.
At college I tend to keep to myself, I've got enough mates already and to be honest, find most of the students my age (although this has improved a lot since first year, where I felt I was with kids about 5 yeas younger than me) quite immature and tend to get on better with the mature students. It's neccessity that I talk to everyone though, as I'm the student representative (who goes to staff meetings etc. to put forwards the student's point of view). On the one side this means you have to make the effort to ask even the idiots you don't care about in the slightest how they're doing, what are their concerns etc. are, but on the plus side, you get to spot who the sound ones are for groupwork or even just to talk to.
