For the socially awkward, however, party season isn't so much a whirl of cocktails, sequins and mistletoe as it is a month-long horror-thon of stilted small talk, foot-in-mouth disease and misread social cues. The socially awkward don't exactly look forward to party season. Socially awkward types, on the other hand, will consider the amount of small talk involved before concocting an excuse that extricates them from their own personal hell. This is not the type of evening that any socially awkward person wants to endure, so it's wise to set your boundaries well in advance. Socially awkward types, on the other hand, start hyperventilating at the first mention of 'Noble Call'.
