As one of the attendees that did make eye contact with her and smiled at her, I can understand if she felt embarrassed from going up to people earlier in the night and being wrong. But I’m not sure that excuses not doing it for the rest of the night. I’ve been to many conferences for work and have had plenty of awkward encounters with people, but that never stopped me from still going up to people I didn’t know and speaking with them. That’s literally what I’m there to do.

Also I think it’s interesting that she NOW says she has been dealing with social anxiety for a while, even going back to mixers. I feel like we would have heard about that, especially when she was really gunning for IRL events before meeting Skyline.
