Re: socially awkward penguin needs advice

[nyxelestia]

I'd say, just tell them that you're not very good at making new friends but would really like to, and thus need some help finding a party to go to. People are usually pretty happy to make new friends and help someone make new friends, and it's a lot less awkward. Or rather, it jumps ahead of the awkwardness because if no one "expects" you to be a friend already, then it's not going to be an issue that you don't have anything to talk about or don't know each other at all, and thus they'll try and fill in that gap by introducing themselves and letting you do the same, asking about interests and connections, etc.

Alternatively, see if there are any non-house party New Year's events that you could go to, either with them or on your own. :)

ETA: if you DO go to a party, then bring something i.e. a game to play, some unique food or drink, or even just some very obviously/conversation-worthy unique accessory or a random object that will make people ask questions - great way to start conversations if you suck at doing so yourself*, and can smooth some gaps in social interaction.

* = or if you suck at starting conversations that aren't sociopolitical/philosophical debates. Like me! :D
