I had a social event this evening, dinner with friends. I can get a little "saturated" at events like this, mostly due to being surrounded by multiple conversations and other noise sources. I have things I can do beforehand to help me prepare, such as tips on conversation and recognizing things I can do to help reduce the tension (take a walk, find a quieter area and sit for a while). Tonight I didn't really have a chance to take a walk or get away and as a result I got a little testy with some of my friends. Fortunately, they didn't hold it against me so perhaps I didn't appear as testy as I felt. Things like this happen every now and then. I used to ruminate on events like this for hours, I think I'm getting better at managing my ruminations. I also think reviewing my entries related to social gathering helps too.
