Ok my friends wanna go out tomorrow night, and if i go i'm gonna be a 7th wheel... :/ It's only couples going and I don't want them to think i'm cancelling cause of that but i can't stop thinking that its gonna be uncomfortable and its kinda embarrassing. I've started seeing someone but they live an hour away from me and work so they can't come along... Any advice?
hmmm well it’s important to know that you’re not obligated to go, esp if the idea of it makes you uncomfortable.. but.. . at the same time i wouldn’t discourage you from seeing how it will go ^^ you never know what could happen. Rather than seeing them as couples, understand that they are individuals (and each others/your friends) first and they may not necessarily act couple-y with each other in the first place because it’s not the place too ygm? idk I really would see how it goes - if you’re uncomfortable, you can always find a way to leave earlier...if you’re able to of course.. . . ahh i’m not too sure, i think if i was in your position i’d try to just focus on our similarities (like i’d tell myself “we’re all friends”) rather than our differences (i would try my best to ignore or at least not take it to heart that “they are couples, i am single”). .. . sorry if this isn’t much help! i hope this works out, whatever path you take xx feel free to update me on how you’re doing or heck, even messaging me while it’s happening just to keep your mind off any parts of it that make you uncomfy (if you plan on going of course).
