I should not be allowed to 'network' alone.
Yesterday at a preview I confidently walked up to a man I recognised but could not remember where from... As we were talking I realised I didn't actually know him. So for five whole minutes I long-form apologised and then walked away.
I also made an 'excited face' at another stranger because she looked a bit like a friend.
It was not my friend.
So I badly frightened a woman by randomly 'excited face'ing at her on a staircase and then running away.
I have had my eyes tested.
It's not that, I'm just dumb.
Just make new friends! I'll talk to anybody (until they say something bigoty).
