Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I spent an entire raffle game desperately praying that I'd lose miserably, just so I wouldn't have to go up on stage and accept it. FML

Minou_fml tells us more.

I didn't enter the raffle on purpose! It was a work event, and they gave us a ticket when we came in the door without telling us exactly what it was for. They had us rip them in half and keep one, then put the other in a container. I thought it was for attendance, or the food, or something. Then, toward the end of the event, they started drawing tickets and calling out the numbers on them for various prizes.

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Lose miserably in a raffle? That's pretty bad anxiety attacks, maybe next time not enter the raffle or not be around enough people to have a raffle

You should ask a doctor for some help to beat social anxiety. I hope things get better for you.

How do you lose miserably at a raffle game?? Unless I'm confused about something...

I.. do not remember how or why I worded it that way. I submitted this half-asleep. Basically, out of 12 prizes, I wanted to win 0. That's kind of a miserable loss, if you think about it? Yeah...

Well did you win any? I hope not!

Could be worse, you could have won, made it halfway there and then freeze like a deer in headlights.

And you didn't win any?

Well, you know what this means: you are literally a LOSER. Jk

When playing games, I often make myself lose quickly on purpose, so that I can take a break from being around people :/.
