kitchen Angst!

As I have stated, I want to dedicate part of my blog to Social Anxiety disorder! No time like the present I say! I want to talk about the idea of going out on a major Holiday ( like New Years Eve! )! For most people it is a time of reflection, and looking forward. A time to let loose and really have some fun… For Me it is a time of great anxiety, and just wanting to get away from everyone! I’m not saying that I don’t want to ring in the new year with loved ones, just not in a crowded bar with a bunch of strangers, paying top dollar for a beer! I would rather spend my evening with a few close friends at someones home! If  I don’t have someone to kiss at midnight already, I’m not going to find them at 10pm!

I am writing on this subject now, not only because of the date, but also due to the fact that three friends of mine ( who know how I am ) have asked me what my plans for the evening are! And all told me to go out and “Have some fun”! Well they must not be as good of friends as I thought, if they think that going out alone is fun for me!

We S.A.D.’s understand what you are trying to do, and we apprecieate it as well, but what you don’t understand is that “going out” is stressful for us, and unless you are willing to go with us and help us “deal”, than don’t insult us by throwing it in our face.

Sorry for the downer, But I needed to get that of my chest! i do hope 2009 is better for everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
