You sound like an alright guy, and I'm sure you can muster up the courage to attend future events. Don't be so hard on yourself!

Why wouldn't you go to something like that?
If you're successful enough you can just hire a secretary to do most of that.
Like really look at the world around you, you don't see successful people. Those mega rich people are considered evil to most people, their personality is so abrasive to most people that they have to hire other people in management to do all the face to face shit for them.

meh, happens to the best of us.

You do sound like a top man to be fair, I reckon you'll smash it next time you do something like this

If I couldn't go to this event, I don't know why future events would be any easier. Successful people know how to navigate outside their comfort zone

I wasn't feeling confident that I could leave a good impression on anyone and felt I would be wasting my time if I just observed and said nothing. If I had any friends with me I would have felt a lot better but it's ridiculous to rely on that to happen every time I need to go to something like this

Why would you care about making a good impression? I mean beyond typical civic politeness.
>just observed and said nothing
That's practically the best way to learn stuff. Would you wanna hear some smart ass cracking jokes and disrupting the speaker when you're trying to pay attention to something?

>>34724381
No but there would have been a lot of people there I'd have to talk to whether it was others attending the event like me sitting at my table, or invited guests who I was supposed to network with and asks questions.
I'm just making up excuses. I know I should have gone

When they say network with they just mean like an introduction.
Hi my name is anon
Successful people with businesses and shit are not going to those places to network and answer questions. They're probably too busy being sloppy drunks/coke addicts buying yatch's and trying to fuck hot chics by offering them money, clothes, parties and that kind of bullshit while managers and shit run the place.
