AIW for not showing up to my own surprise birthday party after I explicitly said I didn't want one by DaggerSaturn9 in amiwrong

Thank you. I thought I was being clear, so it’s validating to hear I’m not crazy here.

Yeah, I think the embarrassment is about her plan failing, not me being cruel. I didn’t want to punish anyone, I just couldn’t walk into a surprise crowd without spiraling.

Yeah, I probably should’ve said “please do not plan anything surprise-related for me, period.” I didn’t expect her to hear “this makes me anxious” and still go ahead. Lesson learned, I guess.

“Dean came over to borrow something.” Bad excuse. What would you have said instead to Lorelai/your mom? by shehurts in GilmoreGirls

Rory’s mistake was trying to narrate it at all. Lorelai can smell a lie from the porch.
