I went for afternoon tea at a nice hotel which was a gift from my grandad (adorable).
I don't like eating in public, or being around people eating, or eating most of the things involved in an afternoon tea, though obviously my grandad doesn't know that and it was the sweetest gift, mum was really excited about it.
The lady gave me a pot of green tea instead of peppermint tea so now I have a buzz on lol because I'm awful with caffeine. I drank it because I didn't want to cause a fuss. I ate two little sandwiches about 3x3x10cm, the second one had the grossest texture (grated cheese and tomato chutney, it was just so squishy and cold) but I ate it anyway. And I had a macaroon which was really nice. It was so loud in there with all the echoing and cutlery. I've felt super sick all afternoon but I know that's just caused by my brain. I feel like a real b***h for not being able to enjoy it and eat the food properly and be non-weird.
We went to see grandad afterwards and say thank you and I told him I loved it, he seemed really happy. I'm pretty sure mum had a nice time and she definitely enjoyed the tea, but I know it would have been nicer for her if I could have been more normal and just enjoyed everything. I feel like such a b***h and I feel sick, I just want to cry. Now I've been in my room for 4 hours and I have to leave to get my things ready for work tomorrow but I don't want to talk to anybody. I feel like such a f*****g b***h even though I tried so hard. I probably will cry once I lie down to sleep.
It was very predictable that doing something so far out of my comfort zone would make me feel weird, but still, it did.
