We’re eloping anyway so the wedding itself isn’t an issue. I’d love a hen do but I only have two ‘real’ friends, both live too far away and then I have a several more people that I vaguely know / have lost touch with, I would say we’re loosely friends but not close enough to invite to something like that especially where they won’t know anyone else but me. Minor thing in the grand scheme of things but I feel a bit deflated, hopefully you only marry once so it would be nice to have a special build up
AIBU?
Embarrassed I don’t have enough friends to have a hen do

It’s relevant.
advice is different depending on whether a reason can be identified ie acutely shy? Doesn’t actually enjoy socialising? Fiancé doesn’t allow her out!!

What a snarky question. 😒 Not everyone is the same as you.

Not minor in my opinion. My friends mean the world to me.
Why have you not developed friendships?

I agree with this 💁🏽♀️
How people can find a partner but not a friend is a mystery to me
