Rant: Delegating social planning to an introvert?

I'm going to rant now. My office has this social committee, to which I was nominated because I'm new. That's fair. I jokingly call it the antisocial committee because the first meeting had two of the members at each other's throats, one wanting to quit and the rest of us trying to crawl under the table.

So I suppose it's only group dynamics that somebody needs to step up and be the leader or nothing seems to get done. I seem to have been been left holding that bag.

Now it's not the best idea to put the introvert in charge of social planning. Since I'm good at getting things done, I would normally be fine with it, but I have had the absolute worst time of things lately. And it's just left me feeling like I want to crawl under a rock and not come out until springtime.

So I've been getting emails from my fellow committee members with ideas and I've said, "Great. Schedule a meeting," or "Go for it" or whatever. *crickets* And then the invitable follow up, like I was supposed to get it done and I'm like "Would you please put that rock back on top of me! I'm not done hiding yet."

I'm not misanthropic or anything. I mean, I'm in MaDaCol and this is performance week and I'm fine with hanging out with all those folks. I'm looking forward to this weekend's visit from Elena and Karen and so forth. But maybe that's the key. Elena and Karen are people who accept me and are cool with me just being. Our interactions aren't based on the expectation that I need to accomplish something.
