Sorry you had that experience with prom. I can relate to the stress part, my own school prom had some issues too. It's tradition here in the last school semester to go around asking classmates in the style of marriage proposals if they'd like to be their prom date. I am not introverted but wasn't well-liked and had a reputation due to how a past relationship ended (to the point where people would respond by mockingly asking "why don't you ask your old BF, oh wait"), so when my older brother (who is trans, female to male) mentioned wanting to experience a genuine prom while being himself, he became my senior prom companion. Except when we showed up, all anyone wanted to do was shoo us away, even after prepping. It took a toll.
