Just had to vent as an introvert with severe social anxiety....
Went to my friends birthday party tonight at a local bar, wasn't really drinking because I had to drive and was riding solo on account of FH working nights. I should say that generally any sort of social situation gives me intense anxiety, I envy social butterflies because I couldn't be more opposite- just having to walk into a party or social gathering alone is enough to send my nerves off the charts. I didn't know this group particularly well with the exception of three people, two of which left pretty early and the other being the birthday girl who was busy entertaining her many guests.
So begins the part of the night where this group (of near strangers) repeatedly tries to drag me onto the dance floor and badger me for staying in my chair- I literally wanted to scream leave me the fuck alone at the top of my lungs but instead just opted to leave. Instant relief the second I got into my car. Continued in comments...
