I Have Social Anxiety

I hate parties. I really do. I'm an introvert and an HSP and I have social anxiety issues. When I'm at a party, it's always too loud with too many people talking at once and too much stimulation. I just can't handle it.

The older I get, the less willing I am to subject myself to that sort of thing. I've tried to force myself to like them. I've tried to fit in and mingle. I'm kind of an done trying. It's just not my thing. I'm ok with it. I dont feel like I'm missing out. I just grow tired of others expectations of me to go to them and put on a happy face. I'm just really REALLY tired of doing that.
