Feel really down. It's my 40th at end of June I always thought I would have a big party but as time gets closer I don't dare to arrange one as I'm worried people won't turn up.
I used to be quite popular 5 years or more ago, lots of friends, school mums I got on with, neighbours. But since kids bit older I working more, covid I've grown apart from so many of them. Other people drifted away.
Ive also had medical issues which have made me stay in so I don't socialise as much.
I know a lot of people but I don't have many actual friends. So could have lots potentially turning up but could also have people not coming on the night.
If I was to go away I probably would only have 4 or 5 people come away with me I don't have many more than that.
It was my neighbours 40th last summer she went to London with 10 school mums - I don't even know 10 school mums!
I will feel so sad not to have a celebration but myself esteem is awful atm and I don't think I could take the disappointment of people not turning up.
I would be inviting around 70 but only could guarantee 20 would definitely come.
