I had just turned 21, never really drink but can handle it well. I had a lot of social anxiety when I was around people I knew. There was a good guy who wanted see his co-workers for a last time, so I decided to go say goodbye. I call them co-workers, but I work in a different department that's isolated while most of people who went were very close to one another and worked at their same department. We all work at our college gym so all the shifts were ending at the same time. I got out early a little earlier than most of the others so I started walking alone to the bar. I didn't RSVP on Facebook like everyone else so no one expected me there but the I texted the guy that I was going. Anyways, it was a long walk to the bar and the huge group of co-workers were walking and my apparent instinct was to get out of sight immediately so I ran inside a parking structure and I got so stressed that I puked. Thank goodness I had some gum. I wanted to show up casually late because I usually arrive to events painfully early. I knew they saw me run like I was avoiding them, but when I arrived at the bar minutes later I pretended like they didn't see me. I show up and order harder drinks like a Long Island because that's the only drink I knew of at the time while everyone had light beers. We took up half the bar but we were all sitting closely in a roundtable so it was kinda intimate. Well, my co-workers were being judgmental and were talking crap about me under their breath even though I could hear it. I was panicking and was tensing up but soon I got buzzed pretty quickly. I tried to make myself comfortable. All of a sudden, I thought I was friends with everyone. I was drinking other people's drinks and fluctuating between was being really obnoxious to awkwardly quiet with a lot co-workers/aquataninces. People were ignoring me, but I didn't pick up on these cues to "go away." Note that I also had a crush on a cute co-worker for the longest time and I was acting like a weirdo with my lingering, blank eyes while trying to make conversation. Anyways, I planned to leave since it wasn't going too well after 45 minutes of "socializing" with everyone, so it was time for my goodbye while everyone else was having a blast mingling. My friend/co-worker who was moving away was a good guy and was the nicest person to me that night. But before the get-together I printed out this 30% off coupon for Gap.com which I thought was a sweet goodbye gift ever at the time. I told him I had a gift for him and it got quiet as I caught everyone's attention and I pulled out the wrinkly coupon out of my back pocket and proudly gave it to him. He played along and acted happy, but I was oblivious that I cemented myself as the most embarrassing person within the circle of co-workers/friends. He probably doesn't even shop at Gap.
