for next year when you might really appreciate the invite. You don't know. Things could change. We all evolve. I'm staying away from non family at this time in my life but I am grateful for the time in my life when I did suck it up and go out with friends even when I was too shy to. It was only a few years but it was worth it and I have happy memories of my twenties.
