Option E: Get anxiety, quietly leave without telling anyone, and get used to the occasional shame and guilt you will feel for years
Yes!! I was infamous for leaving without telling anyone. It was my thing. I hated saying goodbye because people seemed to get so over the top with reviewing the event. “Oh nooooo, really? You have to go? I had such a great time! I’m sad to see you leave. We should see each other more often…” and that can stretch out for 15-20 mins. I really just rather say, “Ok, I’m out. Thanks for having me. See ya.”
