Just back from my work’s Christmas night out. Feeling very deflated. Watching everyone dancing and having fun, I felt like an alien or a ghost. Totally uninvolved with what was going on. And now I probably won’t speak to another human except a supermarket worker until January
Life shouldn’t be this way. I deserve better.
Work Christmas parties are like that for me as well. I stopped going to them because rather than making me feel involved and social it just increased my isolation and depression.
