I’m feeling a bit nervous
another parent from school invited me and a few others to a local brewery tonight
I said yes but Im feeling really anxious and nervous about it
I have never really had ‘friends’
I want to go but I can feel myself getting anxious

And why would they feel bad for you? @ArraDreaming
Were all the dads talking together and you were the only one not going?

Or, can it also be because they want to get to know you better @ArraDreaming ?

Don't sabotage it by thinking that way @ArraDreaming . You are you. If they were quick and on their toes, they'd 'get' you. I'd love to hang out with someone like you in real life. You keep the party going.

Lol. Well from my perspective, I find what you say interesting and of value. @ArraDreaming . I'm not just trying to be nice. If i didn't value what you have to say, I'd stop communicating with you lol. You have to admit that you do come out with gold at times 🙂
Anyway, I'm off now. Will chat later in the week.
