That sounds tough @ArraDreaming .
I'm sorry to hear how hurt you are, especially when you are trying to get out more.
In the past, I remember using the avoidance tactic where I'd avoid social situations altogether 'just in case' I got hurt.... yes it works, but in the long run, I was left feeling alone and isolated.
So yes, being social has risks attached, but you also need to be willing to launch out into the deep the experience the benefits of being more social.
But yes, I acknowledge how hard it must have been for you today.
I'm here if you want to chat.
