To not go? Am I being a baby?

Hi
So, a friend of mine and I planned to go to a festival, just the two of us.
She then said she wanted to invite a few other friends who had never been,apparently they had discussed the idea of going. All that was absolutely fine.

It's now a fairly big group ( 8 or 10) and I don't know anyone else apart from my friend. They are all friends, go out toms, and obviously know each other really well.

I'm confident, but I don't thrive on meeting new people.

And .... they're all planning a theme ( lots of glitter and matching outfits).

That really just isn't my thing. If others want to do it, brilliant, but it's not my thing. I'm in my forties, I'm so bloody past doing things to fit in.

So, would I be a baby if I bail?

just say no!!! Glitter is harder to get rid of than herpes!!!!!

That made me spit my coffee outGrin

I'm not an extrovert, but at the same time, I hate being the new person in an established group. Yeech all round.

I like the idea of going, but packing an out to wear in case I get caught up.

Whenever I see those groups, there are always a few people who are loving it, loving it, loving it, and other more miserable souls with a fake smile plastered on, trailing along at the back. 😆
