CHAPTER 1
UNDERSTANDING QUIET

The idea of going to a party can make some people uncomfortable, especially if there will only be a few people they know there. Some people may get nervous when meeting new people and making new friends. They don’t know what to say or how to act. It’s a feeling that a lot of people know well.
Do you ever feel this way? Maybe you’re afraid that others might not like you. Do you think you’ll say or do the wrong thing? Maybe you simply feel drained when you’re in places with a lot going on.
