Even when it’s my birthday I get so anxious for some reason and it’s a bit tiring for me. Like being around more than 5 people that you’re EXPECTED TO SOCIALIZE WITH feels exhausting sometimes😣😪

I feel you. sometimes I also delay an answer or get really axious so I cant sleep.(or cancel spontaneously with a bad conscience) why, if I don't have to I don't go, and if I want to but I am afraid, then with a close friend who knows me. and for Birthday situtation, with friends I normally just invide close or do something small with one or two. family I still can't get along. I have not really tips but youre not alone
Ahh that’s so frustrating! For me it helps to do an activity in such socialzing situations, like playing a board- or partygame, doing something creative or having lunch or dinner together. This makes the interacting less important. Also, it’s your birthday, so you can celebrate it any way you want! You could spend the day together with one friend, or make it your birthday month in which you visit all of your friends all on different days🙃
