Should you force yourself to go to a social hangout if you’re really not feeling it?

It's a delicate balance between yes and no. Don't know if there is a specific situation or just a hypothetical one, so just going by my general thoughts here. You shouldn't constantly force yourself, but it isn't good to always say no either... isolationism is just as bad as wearing yourself out by constantly putting yourself out there when you don't want to. Sometimes, just sometimes, going despite not wanting to can lead to a positive and pleasant evening.
