"I hate to be a bummer, but the thought of having to face a bunch of people is giving me anxiety :( but I want you to have fun! I’m sorry my mind does this."
How do you respond?
Don’t apologize! I completely understand. I have endless ideas for us! Don’t lose hope yet :)
It’s okay. I know a couple of other friends going to the party. I’m going to go with them. You’ll be missed!
