I try to go with a plan I can use in case I have trouble. Prepare ahead of time. If people ask, you can say you're not feeling well or what ever. You don't have to give personal details or long winded explanations. I avoid going to functions that have people there that trigger me, i.e. one of my brothers. I focus more on caring for myself and not worrying what other people thing.
