Nights Out: A Social Nightmare

[Mr Parfect]

Not only do I find night outs highly stressful and anxiety-provoking, the day after normally sinks me into depression.

This is when the self-analysis kicks in, dissecting everything which went wrong the previous night.

Its a nightmare.

Normally that can be a continuous downward spiral with no light at end of the tunnel.

Do others feel like this too after attending night outs?

Exactly!

You think you are sparing these others of your company and misery for a night, when they then seem to take more offence by you avoiding the scenario altogether.

Then you have to face these individuals, either through work or college/school, again...
