this happened on the last december, when me and my friends had just graduated high school, and we were all hungry after the graduation party (wich took a long time to be over) and there was no food there, so i suggested we should order a pizza and eat it in my house, since it was kinda late at night, and i aways enjoyed having them over, the problem was that I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety since 2024, and sometimes it gives me panic attacks out of nowhere, where i feel nauseous, dizzy and sad, so while we were at the pizza place waiting for it to be done and take it home, (we walked to the pizza place after the graduation and decided to take the pizza to my house on the way.) i suddenly started to feel nauseous because of the strong smells in there, so i went outside to breathe some fresh air, the problem is, i started to get really anxious out of nowhere and very dizzy too, but i tried my best to hide it because i didn’t wanted to ruin such an important night for us (i haven’t ate properly that day because i woke up kinda late and spent a lot of hours getting ready for the graduation) and the pizza took about an hour and a half to get ready, so i started to get a little stressed.
When the pizza finally got ready, me and my friends headed towards my house and on the way, i got distracted by the conversation and calmed down a little, but then when we went to my room and started to eat the pizza while talking, i started to feel all stressed out and anxious again and since i didn’t wanted them to realize, i kept trying to hide it, but it got so bad to the point where i had to go to the bathroom to puke after i took just one bite of my pizza, then i came back and just told them i went to wash my hands, but i was feeling so bad and shaking so much i couldn’t just hide it anymore, so i told them to leave because i wasn’t feeling so well, and because it was late, they got confused and upset with me, and refused to talk to me until a week ago, aita?
Did you tell them you puked? That would have been a good enough reason for me to leave.
NTA.
i didn’t because it would be super embarrassing for me, and i didn’t wanted to sound stupid 💔
It’s more stupid to lie or hide not feeling well, rather than be honest with your FRIENDS that you had just puked and maybe it’d be best if they took the pizza and left.
NTA. You didn’t kick them out for no reason, you were having a panic attack and were physically sick. That’s not something you can just “push through.” It sucks that the night ended that way, but your health comes first, and real friends should understand that.
OP’s real friends didn’t KNOW that
Nta you can tell people to leave your home whenever you want for whatever reason. Don’t beat yourself up about it.
NTA but I can understand why your friends would think so if you didn’t explain why you were asking this of them. If you haven’t, you should.
NTA. If you didn’t give them a reason and just asked them to leave then I can see why they’d be confused. I have a lot of trouble with anxiety myself and from the friends perspective I would be wondering what I did to make you ask me to leave. I would recommend following up with them on what happened. If you don’t feel comfortable talking about your anxiety just tell them you were exhausted and feeling sick. Hopefully they’re good friends and will understand. If not, at least you tried and shouldn’t feel guilty about anything.
YTA you invited them over and then let things escalate to the point that you kicked them out with no explanation. It’s understandable that you did what you did, but there were many points along the evening that you could have adjusted or handled the situation better.
Just tell people the truth.
Sorry i feel sick. Sorry im having a weird anxiety attack. Sorry im exhausted. Sorry I’m done for the day.
It’s not that hard even with anxiety. Tell people the truth and they don’t feel disrespected.
A gentle YTA
what kind of pizza place selling pizza that “took about an hour and a half to get ready”???
YTA. you invited your friends. if you’re so hungry you should’ve gotten something that’s faster, or just get a snack to eat while waiting for that questionable pizza. you also could’ve told your friends about what you’re feeling and that you need to rest cause you’re feeling sick.
I bet you’re not the only one who was hungry, your friends also waited 1.5 hours for the pizza.
