Anyone else unable to turn down invitations without feeling massively guilty?
Tomorrow I've been invited to someone's birthday get together. This is a girl who I was briefly quite close to last Summer, but have maybe seen twice at most in the last six months.
She's emailed a few friends (and there aren't many on the email) who "she feels closest to" and invited them out tomorrow night.
Now I have to be honest and say I'm a bit surprised she's invited me as I've not really given her much thought over the past few months and was under the impression we'd drifted apart.
I'm not sure I want to go (especially as the one mutual friend she's invited can't make it) but I feel really guilty about saying no as I have no other plans for tomorrow. I'm also aware she tends to get very depressed at times and this makes me feel guiltier about planning to not go.
So thoughts:
a) Am I being a cunt by not going? Am I cunt anyway?
b) Why do I get so stupidly guilty about just saying no?
c) Does everyone else have this problem?
