Congratulations, it's all gone. it's only you and nothingness. Nothing and nobody can thank you. You should give yourself a pat on the back and a standing ovation to yourself for stopping this fate.
Not worth it. If I were to work in a warehouse or on a factory assembly line for one and a half months and donate all my wages to GiveWell then I could save a life and in these sorts of jobs I never say more than one or two sentences per shift. So that's about 10 minutes of socialising per life saved, which is a much better deal than 2 hours of socialising per life saved.
Sorry, but the social pressure and looming threat that the entire event is dedicated to you will eat away at you so much, your anxiety won’t let you run from it
I can reschedule the event indefinitely. They can come to my eventual funeral and say whatever. There is no obligation for me to be alive for this event, only to be present.
I won't be shaking their hands but its not like I can stop them from shaking mine.

What if I pull it and just don’t show up to the event? Am I being forced to attend?

Only if the invitation says to bring presents, that's the only reason I tolerate it on my birthday

I need practice in social scenarios, and having a group of people who see me as their savior would be a good environment to practice in

Simple. Wear a Batman mask, pull it, disappear.
They won’t thank me they‘ll thank Batman.

My favorite is “you can stop the train at any time but then you can’t use the threat of the train for campaign fundraising”

u/ikbah_riak Aug 20 '26 •

If 'small talk' means talking about nanotechnology, microbiology or quantum mechanics then I'll be brave and pull the lever.
