Went to lunch with an old friend and his new girlfriend who were passing through. No anxiety because I can just stay in my car, or browse on my cell phone, until they get there. I used to have so much anxiety going out in groups, like what should I do if you're not there and should I wait for you inside the movie theatre or outside, and what if the movie is starting and you're not there yet...all of that is gone with cell phones. Will be having lunch with another friend on Saturday. Then nothing social for weeks.

Am I the only one who is too proud to invite themselves to family's for Thanksgiving dinner? Like, how hard is it for you to text me or call me and say "MobiusPsyche, Thanksgiving is at so-and-so's house this year, are you coming?" I hate to have to call and ask where it is and am I invited...I feel like I'm crashing a party. It would be really nice if one of my family would just invite me, they invite each other all the time, but I live five hours away and I guess they think I won't come anyway. I don't know, I can be proud but alone on Thanksgiving or not and maybe be with my annoying family if anyone is hosting this year. decisions....
