_____ Ben isn’t the only person that has experienced this situation. Something similar has probably happened to most of us before. It’s natural to feel unsure of ourselves when starting conversations with strangers.

In the end, all I could say was, “Well, it was nice meeting you,” and I quickly walked away. I felt so embarrassed that I left the party.
