So for those that don't know, I work in a hotel. There has been an undercurrent of bad feeling lately. So I decided in my wisdom to hold an evening of food etc, with the pretense of showing off my DIY skills, when in fact I'm bringing everyone together again. I don't like, back stabbing, or snide behavior. I'm very much a person that needs harmony, ( mother hen) but now I'm feeling very anxious, I've over 16 people are coming tonight, I've spent the afternoon cooking etc, but now I'm feeling a little stressed.
I'm one of those people that think peace, love and rainbows😵 no matter what the cost. I feel it's going to be at my cost now though, all I wanted was for everyone to sort there **** out. I hate bad feeling.
Now I think " what the fook am I doing"
It's not my responsibility, but it is man. My anxiety has gone through the roof now.
Oh well, let's see how it goes, ( I've told them NO ALCOHOL, )
Bloody hell man, I feel such a dick now x
Over an out 🙏💖

I hope the evening is successful, Doris. What are you making?

Tinkerbeau

That is a very kind thoughtful thing your doing, i hope you have a great evening and im sure everyonr will appreciate it.

You are right, it's not your responsibility. You did a nice thoughtful thing but do your best to let go of the outcome. Maybe if the tension is thick you could excuse yourself under the pretense of using the restroom a few times and stay out of the room. Whatever works best for you.

That's the only advice I could give myself

I would so do something like this . . . . well other than the fact that I don't like to cook nor feed people.

Let that anxiety come and let it go. If things go sideways, I always laugh at my fix-it attitude . . . laugh in a kind way towards myself.

Please let us know how it goes, Doris. I think it was a lovely thing to do.

Doris reporting in for duty😃, all is good in my world, I didn't drink, it all went well, friendships built up again. Phew, my plan paid off lol. 😃
In fact they all clubbed together and brought me a healing, inner strength crystal, a pure white quartz.
Hmmmm is it me or them with a plan lol, either way we all won. I was left in tears because of the kindness shown to me, they left with full bellies. Oh my days, 🙏💖
Doris. Xxx

Yeah, see?! You wasted all that perfectly good anxiety for nothing. But it sounds like it was a great success.
