As fun as the rave scene is , it ' s far from all PLUR and love . The most fucked up shit I ' ve ever seen has been at festivals , raves , and illegal parties . <| sep |> Just bought it 5 seconds ago ! Super excited <| sep |> I ' ve had that sub blocked from day one , it ' s been pretty nice . <| sep |> Very detailed proposal , albeit optimistic . It ' ll be very good for the Cosmos and New York soccer as a whole if they can make it happen . <| sep |> I totally get it . I was recently diagnosed with anxiety . I hate going to family gatherings . My family is huge I have 6 siblings , all married , and 16 nieces and nephews that run wild . Gatherings are overwhelming to me . I spend most of my time in small groups my own age and with similar interests , and I have a hard time connecting to my parents first siblings . I tolerate the gatherings to be able to see my parents , since I can only visit them 3 times a year usually . That being said , I always find the quietest part of the house to hang out in . I think you should take care of your own mental health first . If you feel bad about missing the gatherings , you could always arrange to see people oneonone or in small groups in the weeks around holidays to catch up , if you feel up to that . But taking on too much and making yourself unwell defeats the whole purpose and doesn ' t help anyone anyway .
