My best friend convinced me to go watch a movie with her friends and I feel awful about it. I hate socializing and I dont know why. Im not even a full NEET, I go to uni, I have one close friend. Why do I still feel like this? How do I stop being like this?

you have to start electing for yourself when you want to socialize to feel better about it. Just consider being forced to eat a bagel vs choosing to eat a bagel. you even get more control of the bagel toppings if you aren't being forced to eat it.

just cancel on the people you don't know and don't want to spend time with, what's gonna happen? But also try thinking of some way YOU want to socialize, and then make a plan to do it!

I really like my best friend. The thing is: I don't like socializing. I know I need it to be a normal person, but I just don't enjoy it.
I went to the movies with her and now that I'm back, I can't stop thinking about how it felt like a waste of time. I could've just stayed home, comfortable.

bro just watch the fucking movie. calm the fuck down and take it slow. you got nothing better to do. just watch the movie, and respond to conversation prompts in a chill way fitting for a relaxed idgaf mode boomer.
