We are trying to get out of it, when my friend gets tipsy she makes plans, adds us to WhatsApp groups and is sure we will do it … tbh we have managed to get out of a lot of her stupid plans!
I ended up changing the topic to a Halloween party she wants to throw so I think she’s now caught up with organising that!
This is what I mean by my RL friends being something else This is what I have to put up with when I go out which is why I don’t go out!
Looks lovely enjoy Hollywood Studios it was my favourite Disney park this time. Star Wars part is just amazing but we didn’t get on Rise of Resistance as it was down most of day so we need to go back sometime! You will love Mickey and Minnie’s runaway railway
Finally home from Windsor … little one still not himself
oh I’m up to date with NRO … really enjoyed it!
not massively feeling great about myself but more drained and just a bit overwhelmed with stuff, last night was draining with one friend making digs and talking over everyone and the other being very OTT and bossy, felt like I couldn’t speak without being judged so I ended up not speaking at one point, definitely not feeling my normal self today, then obvs was emotional going to Windsor, May sign off again for the rest of the day or for a while

Take the time if you need it, we'll be here when you come back
If it helps, I have/do feel the same regularly. I overthink everything I've said in conversation after the event, and worry that I've somehow come across like a nob, or offended someone. What then happens is that I end up just sitting back and being an observer. This is even the case with my oldest friends.
One of my biggest insecurities is the thought that I've killed the conversation. I have a group chat with a few friends who had babies around the same time. I needed some support a few weeks ago and just didn't get it (was just left on read), which made me just feel even worse. I've archived the chat for now and actually feel a huge relief.
Maybe completely irrelevant, but just to say, I get it.

People are exhausting. I often just sit back in conversations because I don't have the energy to engage particularly with super loud or bossy people. It's also a weird time at the moment and you're poorly, so I'm not surprised you're feeling low.
Have a day under the blanket with the dog, we will be here when you come back xx
@lou_claire91 I hear what you’re saying. I feel the same most times too and avoid going out because of it which makes it worse. Everyone else has a much more vibrant personality and i feel like I have nothing interesting to say so I end up saying nothing. I wish I had a solution for you but unfortunately I’m still searching for one myself. So just know that you’re not alone in your feelings
I love the use of the word "little" here. But really, I just woke up one morning and that residual feralness was simply gone. So we're standing with you now.
Way too amused at dream you getting with 2016 Bae. 2022 Bae not cutting it for you?

I'm sorry you were made to feel that way. That's too bad, especially, when we've all been so isolated for the past two years, and now that we're venturing out again, it's not particularly enjoyable sometimes.
I have these moments, too, of just sitting there, having nothing to add to the conversation, and it sucks.
Is it a blanket, tea and telly day for you? We're here for you, when you're ready to come back.

Nothing is ever irrelevant, if you want to discuss it. I'm sorry that they didn't engage, that... if that's a sort of support chat, then you should have gotten a bit of support, right? Perhaps archiving the chat, and not engaging is the best thing for you, I'm sure there are better people around who will help you.
I've been working all day, missed out on lunch, now I'm just going to eat something really quickly, watch a bit of Everton for @LurkingAnnie and get back to work. What a Sunday, so far.
It's not even 11 but it feels SO late. Still sticking to plan and mother will not stop whinging.
@rasperryripple Mickey and Minnie was SO good! Also done Star Tours, Toy Story Mania and Swirling Saucers. Genie+ worth it today as have Smugglers booked for after Rise too. About to watch Beauty and the Beast now.

I'll take it though as I never dream about him.
