Any night me and my friend decide to go local we always go to the pub that she works in.

I have no problem with the pub itself (it can be a little bit Werewolf in London type thing sometimes though lol)

But she knows everyone in there and will end up talking to different people all night. Such as going up to get drinks and talking for ages whilst I'm sat on a table by myself.

I don't really know anyone in there, and whilst I'm friendly and can chat to most people I still find it awkward.

Aibu to not want to go?

OP, YABU to be so bloody uppity in all your comments. And in fact you are doubly U because you used a 'lol' in your OP

AwfulBeryl · 24/01/2015 16:48

Op, you're getting a bit too tetchy. People have been relatively nice on here, especially for Aibu. Have some Wine
Yanbu for not wanting to go to the pub with your mate. I love meeting new people, I have met some of my best friends in the pub.

I don't necessarily want to spend every night out with a friend wandering around chatting to people I don't know. You don't have to go, just say you want do go somewhere else.

Do you know what, I think I'll change it to YABU
As I think your friend probably doesn't want to spend her time with someone who is highly strung and tetchy. (you are high maintenance OP)

Oh and to me bars are a bit posh and have cocktails, no drinking at the bar a crap Dj and mood lighting.
pubs have a good selection of ales and bar stools with red velvet cushioning, they occasionally have local bands playing a juke box the rest of the time, they have lock ins at the Weekend.

I feel like my whole body is shutting down.

I've never felt so ill over the last few days.

I feel like I'm about to have a breakdown. I don't know why I'm saying this because its nothing to do with anything, I think I'm trying to deny what is happening.

My head feels so heavy and my vision keeps going blurry and my chest keeps getting tight.

Jesus OP! Are you coming down with something? Or do you mean emotionally? Can you call your friend to come over?

Pancakeflipper · 24/01/2015 17:17

What's going on OP? It starts with issues about not wanting to go to a particular pub with a friend and now you are having a breakdown? The pub issue is the least of your issues isn't it?

Go to the health bit of this board, post on there and there will be people who can offer support and make it less scary for you.

SurlyCue · 24/01/2015 17:17

I wouldnt even be thinking about going out if i was feeling like that for days!

I havent got dressed yet and even i'm groaning about having to get changed to go out! Never mind chest pains and blurry vision!

laughingmyarseoff · 24/01/2015 17:29

OP is this more about not actually spending time with you friend together? As in she buggers off as soon as you get in the pub and leaves you alone, so she may as well have gone down without you?

It sounds like you're feeling pretty down, so I wonder if this is just a thing with you not feeling supported by you friend?

QuintlessShadows · 24/01/2015 17:33

Sorry to hear you are not well.

But, have a joke on her, say "Well, Mary, I think you must fancy some of the regulars something awful, something you are not telling me about Old Jonny-boy down there?"

Or "Cor, I'd think you'd have enough of that place, I cant think why you want to spend your days off, there, unless you are trying to get off with somebody, lets have it, who is it?"

Must be the only explanation why she wont try anywhere else!

Oh my fucking God.

What an absolutely disgusting comment.

Do people really not even give the slightest bit of thought to what they say?

We all go on about internet bullies, but we have some on here for sure.

Yes the op has been quite touchy but I don't believe she has name called you.

Some of you should actually give just a little bit of thought to the potential consequences of what you saying.

Just horrid.
