Absolutely true.
And, this is one of the reasons I scratch my head when people post about how to decline invitations to social things and drinking-involved stuff like bar nights etc. People. Do. Not. Care. (if you don't drink). If they like you and are real friends, they will be supportive- but you (IMO) don't owe anyone an explanation.
So much of our disease is the "me centered," the ego, etc. In big and small ways, we have to keep re-orienting our brains around the new idea that we are just one of many snowflakes out there, not a sole special one!
