Whassupper! It’a time fools, Let’s Go Seahawks! I’m a piece of crap. Cuz I ain’t watched those fools play na’an game all season, talking ‘bout some Go Seahawks! Sucking my teeth. But that’s my city. Wait, who’s doing The Halftime Show? Listen, I don’t know why you are having a fcking Super Bowl party you know we have social anxiety so what the fck are ya thinking? It’s all calm, I’ll tell you what to do, minus the crazy. I got The Hawks by 6.

EXTRA POINTS

If betting is part of your celebration, be smart about it, set firm limits or skip it if it fcks with your head too much. Experts say sports betting can activate the brain’s reward system and increase anxiety or compulsive urges. Don’t fck yourself up, be smart. Bet a burger or some shit like that. Be responsible.

KICKOFF

Here’s how to keep your anxiety calm during a Super Bowl party, grounded in social-anxiety coping and stress-free hosting tips. (Source)

  • Plan and prep ahead

  • Set your own pace

  • Keep the mood easy.

TOUCHDOWN

Throwing a party doesn’t need chaos. Choose three fast foods: sheet-pan nachos, sliders, veggie trays. Prep early store labeled. Disposable trays save sanity. Guests want vibes, not Michelin stars. Easy equals calm host energy, period always for everyone involved.

PLAN & PREP AHEAD

Get as much done before guests arrive so you’re not scrambling. Set up seating, food stations, and the TV area a day early so you don’t feel rushed at kickoff. Simple, make-ahead foods or pre-ordered items reduce kitchen stress during the game itself. (Source)

SET YOUR OWN PACE

Feel free to take quiet breaks when you start feeling overwhelmed, step outside, breathe, or meditate for a few minutes. Grounding techniques like mindful breathing if that shit get really bad can help manage rising anxiety during loud or tense game moments. (Source)

KEEP THE MOOD EASY

Light background music, soft lighting, and a self-serve snack/drink station lets guests help themselves, so you aren’t “on” the whole time. Comfortable conversation and letting go of perfection (no need for a Pinterest party) lets you focus on connection. Not stress.
