Thing that's more haunting than 100 plus people suddenly stopping everything they are doing abruptly, just to stare at me regarding my Body Dysmorphia...
- Is no-one said a thing.
I either came across as so drunk that talking with me was a risk not doable.
Or, what.... I was so awkward and have mastered the art of the body language of; mandatory social isolation.. or bad things will happen to you..
Why didn't anyone even ask if I was OK... not even a gasp.... (though I may be biased in my re-collection as the gasp{s} would likely have happened on step 7-10 whilst I was flying down the stairs, and I would have been soaring on adrenaline.
It was just a unanimous - drunken pause/wtf!? ,, then I stood up, covered in beer - literally like a had just had a shower. I tried to pull it off by having a sip of beer and shrugging... but I had poured the entire thing on my head.
And; ~In my experience - everyone got back to business about 8 seconds after my descent. . Likely due to embarrassment at the whole proceedings; which I took personally of course..
On the bright side it could have gone a lot worse regarding the pint glass in my hand.
I made my way directly to the exit.
I was drunk certainly, and I've been having problems with over-drinking for the last two years.
I've been addicted to this and that for a long time, I seem to need something ( a drug) in my life the whole time otherwise it's just empty.
That's mostly due to my Avoidant Personality Disorder style of mind.. the drinking to fill a gap. But today, with the stairs was triggering for me on all fronts. I feel deeply embarrassed and mortified - it just confirmed to me what a social outcast I am - as well as it being a; failed, un-prepared and un-intended exposure response prevention exercise (regarding BDD).
I'm hurting, but surprisingly typing this I'm quite numb emotionally and retrospectively. Probably the beer is helping considerably in that regard.

I'm sorry to hear that you fell down! Are you okay? I fell off my bed and bruises my tail bone.
