I hate Christmas. This year more so as I'm working through the lot so whilst everyone is relaxing, celebrating and having fun - I'm stuck at work.
I've been invited to two Christmas nights out - first being a work night out and second being a work night out with my previous workplace which I left in June.
I don't really want to go on either. At my current place I don't really feel like I know anyone well enough, I'm a bad mixer, don't make friends easily and the thought of turning up and not really knowing anyone that well fills me with dread. With my previous work place - I only really kept in touch with one of them and even that was over facebook so I feel stupid turning up to a world night out where I don't even work anymore.
Apart from this, on my works night out I'm at work the next day (surprise surprise) and I don't drink whereas they're all on about getting absolutely wrecked. I just feel like I don't fit in.
Easy solution to just not go to either but then I feel desperately sad that not only am I missing out on Christmas itself, I'm also going to be tucked up on the sofa when everyone (including DH) is out celebrating the week before.
I feel a bit of a Billy no mates but it's my own fault, I just don't like to mix. I've always been antisocial and most of the time it works for me but at times like this, I feel lonely and z bit of a reject.
Anyone else not going on Christmas nights out?

To be upset about not going on a Christmas night out? Even though it's my choice?
