I am having major anxiety thinking about my awkward behavior at a work social. I am recovering socially anxious person.

It was a loud party. I had a few drinks and I feel like I was speaking too loud. My friends boss and coworker was beside us and I kept talking loudly to my friend and on 2 occasions her boss and other coworker who I don’t know turned towards us while we were talking thinking I was speaking to them. I think my friend looked kinda awkward after.

I then saw 2 guys that I don’t speak with at work but sit closely beside. Is it normal that they came in for a hug even though i’ve said about 2 words to them? I felt like I awkwardly hugged them.

I have a close friend outside of work that happens to also work with me but on a different campus. She has her own group of work friends that I’ve hung out with occasionally and they’re pretty nice but they all work at the same campus some obviously their bond is stronger. One of the girls was super drunk and was missing. The venue was by a really high area with rough seas. There have been multiple deaths there. Out of concern I kept asking where the missing girl was over and over. I said to them “ is no one concerned about where lisa is haha”? in a joking manner.
One of them said I can assure you she’s fine.

About 1 hour later Lisa emerged from the darkness with a male coworker. I feel like my friend was giving her other coworkers looks. I felt soooo stupid and left out asking over and over when they all clearly knew where she was. I feel like I should have just minded my business and it was kind of awkward after.

I am dreading going into work on Monday and facing these people. Am I overthinking this?
