So I was forced to go to a crafts fair because my grandparents are taking care/watching my sister and I this weekend. I wanted to do a service thing for National Honor Society but apparently the times clashed ;-;

Anyway, we got there and it was kind of crowded and there were mostly older people. So my sister and I are just kind of following our grandfather around until he gives us ten dollars each and tells us to buy Christmas presents for our mom (since she's out of town so we can hide them).

But then guilt struck.
Because the individual tables all had cool stuff to buy and I don't like buying things because I never know what to get!!! And our grandfather was with us for a little bit telling people that we were going to buy something or come back later so I felt like we had to even though we only had ten dollars each!!!

Everyone there was super nice and friendly and I felt bad when we started talking but walked away to keep looking. But then my grandfather beckons us to him and introduces us to their neighbor, and the true anxiety began.

We went over and she was selling jewelry so I though "Alright I can just buy mom a bracelet and be done." BUT LET ME TELL YOU GOW THINGS TURNED!
The bracelets ended up being tight on MY wrist so I know they weren't going to fit my mom, and the neighbor thought I was looking for MYSELF!

SO I WAS STANDING THERE FOR AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES WHILE SHE HAD ME TRY ON MORE BRACELETS BUT THE WHOLE TIME I JUST WANTED TO LEAVE AND I FELT BAD FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING

Eventually I told her that we'd be back in a bit after we looked around more, but S T R E S S (we ended up not going back-)
I felt bad for my sister who was awkwardly and helplessly watching me have bracelets placed on my wrist, but even worse because I didn't buy anything for the five minutes the woman spent trying to help me find a good bracelet.

In the end I bought a home carved(?) candleholder made of Cypress wood, which somehow helped my anxiety when I held it. We left and went back to our grandparents' house, but I have to say that that's the worst amount of anxiety I've felt in a while.

It's really pretty and I almost wish it was for me ^^
