Your Type
The essence of a party is the rich food! Making friends is optional, but you never miss a delicious snack. This behavior of "shifting all attention to food" actually reflects your escape mechanism for "uncertainty and potential awkwardness in interpersonal interactions"; you fear not knowing what to talk about or facing dead air, so you use "being busy eating" as a reasonable excuse to avoid making eye contact or initiating conversations. But always using food as a social shield means you miss the chance to meet interesting souls. Try proactively saying "This looks delicious, what do you think?" to the person next to you at the food table next time; when you learn to use food as a bridge instead of a shield, you'll harvest unexpected friendships.
