Although I excel at 1-on-1 meetings/socials, I often feel awkward when there are more people, especially when not all of them are close friends. My girlfriend and I frequently attend these gatherings together and she is very much a social butterfly -- if you haven't already guessed, I'm a bit of an introvert.

 

I can sense feelings of insecurity when I'm in these settings because I feel -- subconsciously -- like she'll forget about me and/or find someone who's more fun. I've suppressed these feelings and tried to strike a good balance between avoiding her and attaching myself to her at the hip, but I think that my uncertainty shows. When we're alone she clearly enjoys my company, and we spend a lot of "quality time" together, so there's logically no need to fear any of the above. Still, those gut sensations persist and make it hard for me to enjoy myself. Has anyone been in my spot?
