Evening of alienation and distance. Didn't want to go out but one friend's birthday and another I've known for over two years was leaving so was sort of required.
Conversation skills failed, just stood there limply and people talked around me, at best interjecting inappropriate comments. Also, sensory issues, too many people in crowded bar just made me feel uncomfortable. 80% of the time I can handle all this and at least do minor conversation, 20% I go properly autisitic and it's basically hell. Of course, some others are properly autistic 100% of the time, but how someone else suffering more than myself should somehow reduce mine is beyond me.
