Sooo my partner planned a triple date with some friends at the board game cafe and I’ve been putting off going with her for probably the last year. I have a ton of anxiety with board games because it takes me forever to understand them and I end up always feeling really stupid. I don’t know if it’s RSD or what but anyways! I thought I was capable of going despite my anxiety and thought it was time to finally have this board game night shes wanted. However…. I can’t. My anxiety has been so bad and I had a panic attack about the whole situation and want to back out. My partner is upset with me and says “everyone doesn’t know the game but you learn and it’s fun” buttttt it’s NOT fun for me. I rather disappear. Now she feels obligated to stay here but I don’t want that. I know she wants to go and is making me feel really bad. Does anyone else hate board games and have a better way of explaining this all?
