feeling awkward just socializing

It also could be that you are just naturally introverted. I am like that. I need to get away from a crowd after a while to recharge. But when I am charged I am just fine at socializing and interacting. Don't forget, failure is only a learning tool to make yourself better, it's going to happen a lot in life, so make notes about what happened, learn from it, and move on. But, since you are introverted you most likely are naturally laid back. So take that laid back energy with you to the party to make other people feel relaxed. It works fine with me. Don't get overly dependent on using alcohol as a crutch for social interactions, it could cause you severe problems later on in your life.

Just wanted to update everyone on what happened since I found it unbelievable.

So yesterday I went to a party and ended up leaving early and going to bed at 12 midnight because I was THAT drained from it. I was afraid that tonight's party was going to result in the same thing, so I made sure to meditate for 40 minutes.

...Let me tell you guys something,

Not only did I talked to people (wow, it's been a while!) and had a very very good time, but I was WIRED throughout the night. Pretty much, I was relaxed and calm. I am very very shocked and thankful for what meditation has done for me tonight. I really can't thank you enough to those who recommended it to me.

I mean I hate using PUA terms, but hell, I was doing kino with some girls and holy crap... I was "scared" to do it and it actually felt so good when they were receptive to it.

I didn't get any numbers, unfortunately, but the way how I was tonight was WAY more than I could ask for. I think this is a finally becoming a good beginning.
