I was a shy teen and in my late teens/early 20s I made the decision to never turn down an invitation in order to push myself into socialising. It's been very successful and I'm lucky enough to have plenty of good friends (although never managed to meet a nice man! P)
About two years ago I experienced a bit of trauma which left me with anxiety. I hated being in the house alone, so threw myself into going out.
I'm much better now and realise I've been going out and drinking far, far too much, but the invitations are still flooding in. I never have more than one night in a row when I don't get asked out, which is lovely in some ways, but I sometimes want to stay in but feel really, really guilty saying no to people. Does anyone else get this?
