I don’t consider grocery shopping a social gathering, inasmuch as I can do the whole thing without uttering a word to anybody. Put me in a situation where I am expected to chit chat, and it’s a race to see how quickly I can get out of there. LOL
You would see me right behind you.
I used to have to do Chamber of Commerce socials. Finally I told my boss that I would sit on any board or any committee. But going to a “time” was not gonna happen.
