that time i couldn't accept a perfectly nice invitation to a perfectly nice time with perfectly nice people.

"i'm having a party later tonight, if you wanna come."

"yeah?"

"yeah, i just decided. right now."

"did you?"

"yeah, just gonna have a couple of people over. you're welcome to come over if you want."

"thanks, but i probably, i just, is it gonna be like a... thing"

"what?"

"like, it's gonna be a party right, with those people that you all know?"

"what?"

"i'm just bad at going to things where people i know will be."

"good job, coming here then."

"no, i mean. i don't know. i've been to those things, and everyone knows each other, and i don't drink, and i dunno, i just don't fit in."

"bring two friends! sit and talk to them."

"i'm socially stunted."

"okay."

"anyways, it was nice seeing you."

"you too."

"i'm so weird."

"we all are."
