Yeah, there’s that cat again.
I’ll be alone today too which I have been for over a decade now. It’s something I’ve gotten used to, oddly. I got a text from an acquaintance about a month ago saying she’d “love” to have me over for Thanksgiving and Christmas but I knew it was bs. Plus I never heard anything more about it like what time, etc.
Like you said it’s better to be alone than around people, faking cheerfulness and joy of the holidays. And trying to make conversation. After the year I had, I’m running on empty. And I can’t drive at night and definitely don’t want to be out at night alone anyway.
I actually thought about you and others on this site who would get it.
