My roommate and I got invited to a party down the street. We were planning to meet the girls who invited us beforehand. We start walking, and she tells us she hasn't left yet so we walk around for a bit and smoke. We decide to go back to the house and sit on the porch until we hear from her, which doesn't happen by the way. So as we are sitting we see a group of drunk people walking up the street yelling to other drunk people "X party is busted, were bouncing" they end up chillin across the street on the sidewalk for like 5 min. I thought about going over to them and using some cliche opener just to get into the set (or superset, there was like 9 people).. I end up thinking over the opener and outcomes and basically psyching myself out. This is my worst symptom of AA, I overthink what could happen. I've been reading here for awhile, and I know the trick is to just not give a fuck. But I can't get myself to do it. (Also: throughout the night I'm trying to give roomy advice on text game with this girl, but he plays it way too AFC, so I give up)... Eventually the set moves on to another party and we go inside and give up.

First thing I did wrong was wait for some girl I don't even know. We should have just walked in the fucking party (there were trickling groups of people walking in as we arrived) but I guess we were both against the idea of showing up at a party with people we don't know. Thats another thing I need to get over.

How would seddit have handled a situation similar to this?
