Do you feel like this after drinking?

[MumOf3Threee]

I rarely go out. I drink at home with a meal etc. last night was my first night out with my DD’s classmates mums. She’s year 1 but I’ve never been out with them. They all seem pleasant and lovely, conversation was flowing nicely and I thought I had a good time but I’ve woken up today dreading the school run and worried incase I said something stupid (I think I didn’t). I can’t keep thinking about it. I think I have social anxiety but I’m good at hiding it but in private I break down. DD is my middle child. I have a younger one and my eldest DS I have never been to any of the socials in his class so I’m kind of new to this. Any advice or words of wisdom? Not everyone was drinking as some mums were just on soft drinks but I was drinking. I kind of feel like this is why I don’t go to socials. I’m exactly same with friends and work meet-ups too, I analyse everything.

Update:::: I picked up DC from school and bumped into one of the mums I was chatting a lot to yesterday and she completely blanked me! How weird

friday
end of a long week
maybe a club to rush to
something on her mind

don’t always automatically see shadows everywhere op

so when you “bumped in to her”

You said “hi!” and she looked at you and walked past you without so much as a backward glance?

I said “hello, how are you?”. She blanked me. Stepped back and started chatting to the circle of mums behind her. I don’t know them very well just enough to say hi and bye so I faced the group and smiled at them and she then turned her back on me so I just stepped away from them all and waited for my my kids to appear. I felt a little embarrassed and annoyed with myself for saying hello.

well that must have looked bloody peculiar!
