Apparently I suck at parties. Who'da thunk.

However, lovely women telling me I look good should happen more often.

Not to mention, a noticeable percentage of "self-actualized" people are simply creating new layers of self-deception and smugness with which to cope with their own insecurities (you've been to LA, right?). But I'm just a research psychologist, what do I know :)

I think you're spot on about the introversion/extroversion thing, denyse. And your husband is FRIGGIN HILARIOUS. Brilliance, humor, and awesomeness are not necessarily the same as shiny extroversion.

And that gconnor is probably right about--Cyrano was probably perfectly charming, if a little overloaded and thus withdrawn.

Hugs to CyranoCyrano. If you want a cold, sparsely populated room, please feel free to visit us! We're warm on the inside, it's just that we're trying to save energy/$$ and it's been hella cold out.

While I don't claim any of my guests are actually self-actualized, I would say that I really don't think a lot of them are the ones that create a lot of a layers of self-deception and smugness. I tend not to enjoy being around that much. :)

And knowing the people there relatively well, trust me wholly on this one, we ALL have our faults, insecurities, traumas, pain points - that's probably the biggest /binding/ thing of the people in the room, though likely not the biggest topic of party conversation.

Yah, not LA!

And hey, cyranocyrano, at least you could go the party!
