I hope you love Maine Characters, Kuleigh! I definitely can't make it to every single gathering I should be at, but I do feel better after attempting them. It's easiest when I can remind myself that I can leave whenever I want to. I struggle more with events like my husband's work parties where he knows everyone and wants to be there forever, but I know no one and am deeply uncomfortable. Over the 22 years we've been together, we now know when it's best for everyone to attend things solo :-)
