Do you have a work Christmas party? Do you attend? Mine is tonight and I am seriously considering bailing…. Feeling like a Grinch this year and really don't want to be around people. Can anyone relate?

We had one and I went even though I wasn't all that enthused. It happens. In my case it turned out to be fine, it can be fun to talk with people I don't really deal with a lot.

My social anxiety always gets the best of me at these functions…

It’s kind of an unspoken rule that we have to go to a company’s Christmas party. It was this weekend as well. It was fine. I stayed for two hours ate and did an Irish goodbye and it was good for me. I’m not much of a socializing with my work peeps after hours either person.

I myself am a fan of the Irish goodbye

We had one this year and I went for a little bit and it was honestly really lame. I hate to say that but I would have rather not gone and just stayed home and chilled. If you don't want to go then don't go, nothing wrong with not attending.

If you don't mind my asking, what made yours lame? Location? Activities? The fact that its forced socializing?
