Do you think it's selfish to avoid large social gatherings?

I absolutely despise big get togethers, weddings, celebrations, parties and all that kind of stuff. I'd rather be at home reading a book, gardening, crafting and enjoying the peace. That wedding really drained me and quite frankly it was absolutely miserable. I barely even knew the people. My husband knew them so I went, but man it was awful. I prefer quality time with people I am close to and doing good deeds without being recognized. Am I terrible or what? How do ya'll feel about it 🤷🏻🤭🥱

No I do not like large social Gatherings either I have PTSD and I have learned to deal with them okay but they are certainly not my favorite occasions I can go to them but every so often I need a little break
@KingofBones1 Roger that. I have ptsd as well. I feel like a fekking alien around big crowds and want to run as far away as possible ❤

@Promises yeah I get nervous because of the potential dangers in the room even if people tell me there is none present I am always sizing other people up questioning their motivations looking at the way they walk who might be carrying what old habits die hard
@KingofBones1 I do too. I sit where I can watch everyone and thing and preferably by the door. It's complicated
