Stressful incident

plumBeechwood7549 December 14th, 2019

I just had a very stressful evening.. Someone was trying to convince me to go to a wedding reception even though I was completely uninterested in it. Just the thought of going there when I don't know anyone and just standing and trying to mingle was causing me so much distress and anxiety!

So the whole thing resulted into a fight and I too was quite dramatic about it. However, it did get resolved and the person understood how unhappy I was about it, so I'm really thankful that I didn't have to go! But the worst part is after they left I have been feeling so guilty about the whole thing and maybe I shouldn't have behaved like that, or said such things. I mean I would anyway choose to just not go but I just feel like crap when someone is convincing me and I still say no, it's like I'm letting them down. It feels wrong... And I know it's not my fault or anything but it's strange that I Still feel guilty about it! I'm so so stressed, my whole evening was ruined even though I got to stay at home.. I

just wanted to share how I'm feeling. Thank you for reading.
