Had a panic attack strike right before sitting down to food. Was completely unrelated, but even once it was over it'd sapped my ability to eat and I felt like I was going to waste their money because they were kind enough to buy me dinner. I just ground through it as best I could and apologized way too much for not finishing everything while they were more concerned if I was okay. lol.
It was a mess and I felt like I ruined their evening for, like, a week.
That's really sad, I'm sorry you had to go through that. It's nice to hear that they were just concerned about you though, that's a sure sign of a good person. Sometimes these things happen, and it's important not to dwell on them or let them influence how you feel about future meet ups! Thanks for sharing, especially when it's something that you felt quite bad about.
