June July and August are tough months for me I have in order;
the anniversary of my mother's death
my parents wedding anniversary
my father's birthday
the anniversary of my father's death days before my birthday
the anniversary of the grandfather's death on my birthday
A friend was holding her 50th birthday on the Friday after the first one on the list and just before the second one on the list.
Work has been flat out and stressful
I did not go to her party
I saw photos of the people there and my first thought was thank goodness I didn't go look at all of the people.
Am I a really bad person?

Not at all. I've learned to embrace my introversion and not feel guilty about skipping functions I don't want to attend. You have a right to grieve in your own way. You could take your friend out to lunch, just the two of you. That's much less stressful.

Yeah I think it was all of the people who would be there and the small talk I could not handle.
@Budgie I completely understand. I had to go to my niece's graduation party the other day and there were about 60 people there. It was stressful but some things you have to do. Others I don't.
