Thank you all for the more than kind words. I apologize for being whiny and all. I'll strive to be less self-conscious in the future and just have fun.
It's a weird feeling, knowing I'm leaving here in two weeks without a safety net. But I need a break. It's going to be hard with both of us looking for work, but I know it's going to be worth it. This is the right choice. I'm being too hard on myself, per usual, but I also am being honest with myself.

Also, I don't think you're standoffish.
You may be a little quiet, but some people aren't as talkative as others - especially when first meeting people, or when in a big group.
