AIBU not to want to meet for breakfast?

[WallabyWay]

I'm part of a group of five friends who meet every 2 weeks for lunch. We see each other now and again on other occasions.

We've been doing this for some time, but now the group want to switch to meeting for breakfast. I have no problem with them doing this, but I personally don't want to attend the breakfast meetups.

The reasons for this are 1) I don't eat breakfast. I can't bear to look at food until after 12, sometimes later. 2) The smell and sight of food at that time in the morning makes me feel ill, especially when I'm suffering from my regular episodes of vertigo/nausea. 3) I have autism, anxiety and depression and meeting as early as they want to is a very bad time for me. I struggle to get out of the house then, or function when I do.

I told a friend that it doesn't suit me, but to have a goodtime and I'll arrange to see them at other times. She wasn't happy and said that I'm going to make everyone feel bad, which is not my intention.

So Aibu to not want to attend?

I'm up at 6am on weekdays, so there's no chance I'd want to be up and somewhere having breakfast at 9am at the weekend, too.

I just about manage meeting for coffee with friends at about 11. Any earlier and I'd be bowing out.

'Only dull people are brilliant at breakfast.' I'm so glad not to have young children anymore, all those years of having to be up early on weekends all chipper were very trying. I find morning people insufferable.
