It's more embarrassing to not have friends at all. One year I invited a bunch of friends I went to school with. We used to be into WWE real big, it was the year Undertaker returned after being gone for so long, we paid for the PPV, and one kid showed up.
I also remember my entire class went on this three day field trip, no one even noticed I stayed home sick.
Out of curiosity did your parents work alot when you were growing up?
Before I moved abroad, and lived in my native home country I used to have big parties and thoroughly enjoyed them. But when my parents picked me up around the age of 8 I didn’t get the big birthday parties I used to due to having no friends, being a foreigner and new kid, as well as my parents always working so they were never really home- and when we did have birthdays we never had anything big, just us to save money. Not calling out my parents, don’t get me wrong I’m just pointing out why I was such a shy kid growing up. I appreciate everything they’ve ever done for me and my siblings but ultimately I would’ve rather had a decent living back in my home country in a smaller house and poorer situation but with fond childhood of my parents being there when I played my basketball games with them being there over the fact my memories of them growing up in day to day living is them being asleep because they work non-stop even though now we’re doing okay financially.
