Is this weird? Am I antisocial?

I've been sick for two days now...food poisoning. Yesterday ALL morning and most of the afternoon my stomach felt like doodly doo. Today I think I am normal-ing out...but still having twinges.

Today being the 4th of July, there is a big barbecue. I just can NOT bring myself to go.

Instead, I slept late, have not even taken a shower, and I am definitely going to miss the big party. AND I feel guilty about that.

Oh you are sick ! Of course you won't eat out. Your stomach is still raw.
Also, when you are in pain you are not going to enjoy much of what they do. You can politely apologize in your beautiful way and stay home and rest 🤗 you owe it to yourself
Just be happy you are getting better. I glad you are 🥰

Far from it.

To put it bluntly, you are still ill and would risk being antisocial by attending.

Give your gracious apologies to your hosts, whom I'm sure would understand, and stay home resting and keeping hydrated for the next few days.

I’d take recovery over a party any day. Just stick with fluids and maybe light carbs, like toast or saltines. 👍🏻

Get well. 😊

@beermeplease THANK you. TBH, my tummy is twinging with anxiety because I SHOULD try to go...but the thought of eating food that other people have touched is making me gag mentally.

@oldguy73 These barbecues feature potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw, hot dogs, kielbasa, hamburgers, cake, cookies, and various types of soda. I went last year.

It was a chicken salad delivery made with super excessive mayonnaise that made me SO sick...and i feel a tiny bit nauseated just thinking about today's menu. Mayonnaise...🤮🤮🤮

Take care of yourself first, being ill is not an excuse to miss a party, it's necessity of the moment.

You will not be considered antisocial if you are not going to attend the party. But you will surely be careless about your health if you ignore your health.

@ABCDEF7 I have had a glass of low fat milk, and that seems to be helping my stomach...which is still a mess.

@4meAndyou Take things which are lighter to your stomach. Bananas and rice are good options. Yoghurt or simple curd is also beneficial.

I don't blame you at all for feeling like a homebody after a bout of food poisoning

You need to recover from that

Nothing weird about it. Youre getting over a nasty bout with food poisining and you dont want to attend an event centered around food. Makes perfect sense

You shouldn't go. You have a responsibility to care for your body. It's the only one you have!

@Poppies Thank you. That IS how I feel. I am not quite over that allergic bronchial cough I developed 4 days ago, either...so I would be clutching my stomach and coughing deeply...not a party combo I fear.
