It sounds like you've gotten older and have gained some wisdom. It's my belief that as we get older and gain more life experience, we tend to feel more comfortable in social situations. When I was younger, I used to get really nervous in new environments, but as I've grown older I've learned some basic social skills that have really helped me feel more confident. I've also come to realize that it's totally okay to be alone in a social setting, or to go up and talk to people you don't know. Sometimes people are friendly, and other times they might not be as nice, but either way it's no big deal. I think the key is just to be present in the moment and not worry too much about what might happen. It all comes down to living your life and learning from your experiences.
