I am not sure if this is even the right thread to post this on, but my boyfriend’s parents hosted a get together tonight with some of their friends and my boyfriend invited me. I have suffered with anxiety (especially around social situations) for years and I really didn’t want to go when he asked. I told him I didn’t want to and he seemed a little disappointed, but said it was fine. (Some backstory his parents are super religious and from the south so usually their gatherings make me nervous as I don’t know anyone else like that and I think they are judging me. Also they’re like super rich and athletic suburban family people and nobody else I know is like that either.) He texted me a few hours later saying he was drunk and his dad’s work friends were really fun. I instantly felt sick when I read it like I should’ve just gone. I don’t know if its just FOMO or if I feel like my anxiety is making our relationship worse for him or what. But his parents have commented on the fact that I don’t go to many of their events before and it makes me feel so bad. Like me not feeling comfortable around so many strangers is ruining my relationships with his friends and family. I just feel so sick about it. Any thoughts or advice? Should I just suck it up next time and go?
