 People are different. Some are extrovert.These people are outgoing, confident, and know the “gift of the gab”. They alsofeel very comfortable when in groups of people.

      Unfortunately we havethe other extreme. This is the introvert. The introvert feels sick in crowds,and does not like them. These people feel awkward in the crowds, when placed inthis type of situation. Many introverts are shy and lack confidence. They needto get used to people, and want to run away when questioned by people.

      The introvert feelsvery lonely in a crowd, but this could happen to the outgoing  as well.

      I think that I fallinto the middle of the two kinds. Sometimes if I am comfortable about the typeof people in the crowds, I feel welcome. If for some reason the crowd consistsof different types of people, then I do not feel very comfortable in the crowd.

      So what do I do when Isuddenly feel lost and alone in the crowd? I try to calm my mind by taking deepbreath and telling myself that even this will pass. I then try, and get awayfrom the crowd by making excuses or even trying to get to my car and go home. This,of course, is a poor excuse and doesn’t often work well. These are excuses thatare employed. The ones that I am not so proud of are acting like I have anemergency to go to. This is a very good lie, but I feel really bad afterwards.

      I have tried this one,and have succeeded. I try and find someone who feels just like I do. I then tryand make a new friend. Sometimes this works and sometimes it does not. This isquite a noble way of staying in the crowd.
