Social difficulties improperly judged

Post Reply New Topic

I like to think that I don't struggle too much socially, but then I get hit with a realisation of how poor my social skills are.

Example:My cousin is going to get married next summer. I want to go but I know I will hate it there. I have thus decided to not go since I have been to weddings and other similar social gatherings and have without fail messed up or gotten overwhelmed during them.

It makes me sad that I am not able to participate like most people.

I would like to be able to go to a social gathering and not hate it and hate myself for hating it.

Were you invited with a "plus one" arrangement? It helps a great deal to have someone with you, at a big, formal affair like a wedding. Of course that assumes you have a friend who would be willing to go.

Friends are useful!!
