we had to decline a work social event thing because social events are Really Hard for us and this one would have been particularly bad, and now we feel really bad about it

could use some reassurances probably

@Felthry self-care is good

we're glad y'all were able to decline doing a hard and painful thing and get rest instead

@Felthry The responsible thing to do, when invited to a thing you expect you would not enjoy and would not be able to help other people enjoy, is to decline the invitation.

It's better for you not to go to an event you don't feel up for. The event will be more successful for being attended more completely by people who want to be there. You're doing good for you and for others this way.
