As usual, I relate. I'm happy you have found someone who is supportive when you are ready to go home, even if it's after 30 mins.
This all sounds like a sucess to me. You showed up for your pals, so invested in that relationship. Left the house and did a thing. Saw the river, saw the city, had a drink, stayed sober. And went home! Lovely!!
And you didn't have to pretend to enjoy anything or not beyond what feels comfortable.
Yes! It was definitely more comfortable than expected. And I also am learning that I don't need to stay the whole evening. Going for just a bit is a helpful compromise
