oh god, the idea of this is making me break out into hives.

So, it would probably be good for me is what I'm saying. Cheaper than therapy.

HA this is something I hear a lot, actually. In fact, a third-party researcher at Tufts asked to do a study on us as an intervention for loneliness, and she happened to find that the WORSE of a mood you were in when you showed up to the event, the BIGGER the mood boost you felt after the event. So I'd say your evaluation is empirically correct! :)
