In Halloween spirits but still feel I'm missing out

Post Reply New Topic

Usually during this time it's probably the kids who make the most of Halloween trick or treating and stuff but still seem to feel as adults too can celebrate and dress up and go for a drink somewhere but as I have said I still every Halloween not gone down to these places and still end up indoors watching something scary instead. But I still feel as though I'm missing out because other people who like Halloween are probably going out, dressing up and having a drink at bar, club etc despite the fact that I am not someone who likes to put on spooky make up and dress up in something that is over the top and I can't see myself getting drunk or wanting a lot of attention. I probably wouldn't have minded it if a work they got us to put on some make up or worn some stickers that look like wounds or something to like a ghost or zombie or something but I have been off work today.

I couldn't see as I was walking past my local pubs and places that they were not doing really any Halloween events or quizzes but did see a poster somewhere about doing ghost tours in my local area but don't end up going because they start at 6pm and finish 8pm at time when usually I have dinner in between that time.

I don't know if I am missing out on too much really as it maybe probably isn't a holiday in the same sense as Christmas.

I think any of the big holidays where it seems (and media is telling you constantly) that everyone is out partying and having a great time can be extra isolating for those of us who have no social life.

I don't know what you're like Chris1989 but I tend to think that I'm missing out - I like the idea of being out with a big group of friends having fun - but the reality is that I don't actually enjoy those sort of situations at all. So what am I actually missing? A pretty rough time, usually.

The more I think about what I actually like, the things that bring me joy, as opposed to what society and media says I should enjoy, the better time I have and less I think I'm missing out.
