Acknowledging and apologizing for the harm my tweet could have created. I was frustrated with a specific situation that was causing me anxiety. To be clear: “Get your shit together” from me, is never a call for perfection or independence from anyone.
For me, saying that in regards to planning is recognize your strengths & weakness & ask for help. Communicate to your friends and guests. For the situation I was in I offered to help weeks ago & got no response so I was very frustrated.
Lack of sense of what will occur causes me high anxiety. I spent hours before the party talking to friends and partners trying to calm down and trust that things would be ok.
This is a mild example of an access conflict & communication failure. For the folks planning, my request for early organization & lots of communication was causing them anxiety so they avoided me. For me, the lack of response caused even more anxiety. It wasn’t a good cycle.
And of course the pressure was high because we all wanted to make our friend’s party amazing. Anyway, sorry to folks who felt targeted or hurt by my tweet. I value all my friends, even my not-Type-A ones. They help me chill the fuck out & stop making everything a crisis.
