All it does is stress me out, make me feel more out of control, and triple whatever anxieties are running rampant in my brain.
I feel like to most of my closest friends, I've made this abundantly clear - so when one of them said "Come out tonight, we'll just relax, go get a beer and some dinner and catch up", I assumed that's what we'd be doing.
Being "surprised" with a ball, absurd amounts of booze, and a bunch of cracked out party kids who I'd never seen before was pretty disappointing. |
Sounds weird.
How long since you'd seen this friend though? "Catching up" makes it sound like quite a while, perhaps. Is there a time in the past where that kind if 'surprise' might have fine/normal? Or just a case of a friend assuming he knows you better than he actually does?
