Like Windchime said (good advice) I'm trying to make the most of any social opportunities offered. So someone whose bridesmaid I was rang up yesterday to invite me to their THIRTIETH wedding anniversary party and I'm going! We haven't met in 20 years, just not, no drama, got to the Christmas card stage. It was really great to hear from her, and so weird that the last conversations I really remember with her were when we are at school and talking about BOYZ HEE HEE, and now we're comparing menopauses!
The party might be challenging - the only people I know are her, tbh, I don't know if I'd recognize husband, didn't know him well, and her mother; everyone else will be strangers, adn while I can do strangers in my work role, I find it harder as just me; but I'm going, I'm gonna take that good advice and take every opportunity offered!
