Super sad and feeling alone... so I made some chocolate chip cookies

So yesterday I got really sad because I thought about what it was like to be that odd one out.

You know where you are in a group of people supposedly friends , but the only reason you got invited up to the bbq or party was because you happened to be around the people at the time .

That constant feel of wanting to fit in, having to text people to hang out so that you feel like you belong, but don’t....so disappearing for a couple week in to the safety of your bedroom seems like the best idea.

Being invited to an event where most of the guests know each other, you can easily feel like a 5th wheel. If you aren't having fun, it's OK to leave. I don't agree with allowing your anxiety to govern your thoughts and actions, though. But, your idea to capture value out of your day was a good one. I tend to believe that the simple solutions are always the best. Freshly made chocolate chip cookies would brighten anyone's day. Think of them as the "culinary anti-depressant". It works for kids, why not us? Good save to an unpleasant day.
