Some I like more than others. I absolutely hate wedding receptions and refuse to go to those. The last one I went to was my brother's seven years ago and it was like plucking my eyes out.
I lost a friend over backing out of attending her wedding. The reasons were largely AS-related, but that was before I knew about AS. I'm the type of person who, when invited to parties by friends, I consider attending to be doing
them a personal favor -- and a self-sacrificial one at that. "Normalcy" is the carrot-on-the-stick for why I EVER attend any social gatherings.
