    A birthday party of a friend a few years ago. I’m extremely bad keeping a conversation up with strangers who I have nothing in common with and that was basically every single person at this event (except for the friend who was very busy naturally). I was also the only person who was alone there and didn’t know anyone really. After a few brief awkward short conversations I started keeping to myself, playing on the phone, trying to look like I don’t care, but people noticed and my friend tried to put me in groups. But I could just not fit in with them and the fact that I would need this kind of help socializing made me feel even worse. I could not drink because I was there with the car, that would’ve loosened me up a bit. It was horrible. So I drove back home and watched a movie.

    Genuinely I can't even remember because growing up, my dad was that type of guy who took us kids to obligatorily "fun" things and without fail did or said something that would make it feel completely miserable, then get angry at us for not having enjoyed ourselves at the fun thing.

    A couple of instances I remember in particular was when he took us to Hawaii (he wasn't rich, just wanted to look rich and was very good at avoiding debt collectors) and kept being an entitled shitbag to the poor staff which made me super uncomfortable the whole time, and the time he took us to a magic show in vegas and spent the whole time explaining the tricks when I didn't even fucking ask.

    I now find it very difficult to find any "fun" things actually fun.

    Promised a friend that I'd visit them.

    Flew across the country to spend a few weeks hanging out.

    Got food poisoning at one of the layover food shacks.

    I had a blast... literally (from my ass) and figuratively (hanging out with a buddy). It was a lot of fun and horribly uncomfortable/embarrassing the entire time.

    New Years eve 2000. Had a beach house rented with a bunch of friends. Girlfriend had just broken up with me and was seeing another of our friends (all of us at the house). I didn't enjoy myself :(
