Hates dancing??? Do you hate all kinds of fun?

I get huge amounts of social anxiety from dancing, it is literally crushing (my wife’s wedding present to me was to not have dancing at the wedding). Generally it is also one of those obligatory “fun” activities “EvERYonE LoVes dAnCiNG” that people force you into despite being very clear that it’s not fun for me so don’t drag me into it.

yeah, i despise that, people literally pulling at you to get up and dance; and you look like an asshole to them. for some people, it'd be like being forced into public speaking.

I also hate the dancings

Venue booker not replying to email about availability for an album launch gig in October . Gave him a week to reply again and nothing. Just being blanked.
Dickhead behaviour

More venues not returning booking enquiries despite being active on their social Media accounts. spas.

Very disrespectful to the non dancer.

I have willingly danced once in my life (that I am aware of) - the first dance at our wedding party reception thing. It was the least I could do, all things considered. Never again.

Wow ok. How about dancing on your own, or just with your wife? Me and Mrs. egg_ dancing in the sitting room is one of my life's greatest joys

 

[pete]

Knock yourselves out lads, but for me anyway it's just stupid.

 

[flashback]

If you fundamentally don't understand dancing a lot, even being in a room where people are dancing in a way where they might invite you is worrying.

Like, I'm fine with people dancing, but I'd probably prefer to be in the next room *just in case*.

And if you do succumb to the seering peer pressure hypothetically of an entire Ghanaian family, including ancient parents, who are ALL dancing away happily, and you're basically forced to try to do it, the thing just devolves into Father Ted JUST PLAY THE FUCKING NOTE... NOT THAT FUCKING NOTE... WE HAVE THAT NOTE territory almost instantly.

I've basically had a cough for all of 2022 so far.

I only enjoy it if I'm plastered.
I've gotten in to trouble not dancing the last two weddings. Can't help but be meh about it

Did you have Covid?

I had covid in Jan, and then I had a niggley little cough after. It stuck around for ages, but I was grand. Then out of nowhere it turned into pretty serious pneumonia. But there seems to be something along the lines of covid -> lung damage -> long term shitty other things (not long covid, but tangentially related to the infection you had).

I still have the niggley little cough.

I have sex with my wife.

As a man who hates dancing down to his very core, this fortune cookie can go fuck itself.

Someone with well tended hands like that should definitely go dancing.

I hate dancing. But when I've done it it's been at times life changing. No one is asking, but the fortune cookie is insisting. Look at it as something you can't fuck up.

I've basically had a cough for all of 2022 so far.

is it a throaty cough, a chesty cough, or a deep down in the lungs cough?

I've found myself having clear my throat a lot, including coughing to do so, for much of the last 6 months, if not more.

 

[rettucs]

I have sex with my wife.

I thought that was supposed to stop once you got married?

I stopped having sex with other people’s wives.

Look at it as something you can't fuck up.

that’s the thing though, when it is a trigger for anxiety, all you can think of is how bad it DEFINITELY WILL go.

Imagine you're just given the controls for a complicated remote control robot. And youre told that you need to make the leg go down, while rocking the hips that way, while putting more of the weight on that leg.

And you know people are looking at you.

And you're spending about 80% of your mental energy trying not to make the robot fall over while standing still. Every aspect is tricky and requires careful thought. That's dancing.

It gets even worse when people physically try to move your leg or something around for you, you're standing there, muscles holding everything in the wrong direction, defeated, thinking I'd love to go for a bike ride now, possibly home.
