      Thanks. I’m going to get out of bed and socialize poorly tonight because of this.

      Maybe I’ll report back tomorrow how poorly it went.

        I just got back! It went well. I felt awkward half the time, but I got to have some real conversations with some old and new friends.

        I have some new friends that I’ve only interacted with in really busy contexts, and it was nice to chat with them in a calmer space. I woulda missed the chance if I didn’t give it a shot tonight.

      My psychotherapist often say to me (paraphrased) : What is worth doing is worth being done badly.

      A thing done imperfectly is better than doing nothing at all.
