    I'm doing alright. Does anyone else feel extreme anxiety with zoom "parties?" I'm lucky enough to be very much out of school, so I don't have to worry about zoom classes. But, my partner and friends like going on zoom parties. The concept of it is a musician or DJ doing a set and people dance on cam or show their reactions or whatever.

    I feel like I should be able to just let my guard down and enjoy the music, but it just instantly fills me with anxiety. I don't know if it's because I feel self conscious or I just can't pretend I'm having a good time when I'm not. I can't exactly put my finger on it and I'm just wondering if anyone else feels similarly.

      Idk I'm an introvert so this just sounds like my personal hell.

        Fair enough. I'm mostly introverted and it's good have your feelings validated when it's something abstract and hard to explain to others.
