I managed to avoid a couple of "company dinners". I daresay that if I hadn't, I might have had my second full-fledged panic attack at one.

Getting hired with a "I won't socialize" declation on the table isn't likely, alas.

I've thought a time or two about writing up the pluses and minuses of my "mindset" as an LJ post and asking for advice on how to phrase it so as to have it on the table, but avoid (or at least reduce) the negative impact on my chances of getting hired.
