AIBU to be fed up of being booked up so far in advance ?

I'm talking about my social calendar. I'm booked in from now to Xmas by friends from 1 friendship group. The other friendship groups won't get much of a look in. But, I'm not going to turn invites down on the off chance that something might be arranged by the other groups of friends nearer the time.

A problem of your own making! Why do you need to see the same friendship group every so frequently between now and Christmas?
You could easily turn some down and be the one to arrange something with your other friendship group.

YABU if you keep saying yes, if you don’t want to be booked up say no or say you’re not sure and will let them know if you can attend nearer the time. Do you expect your friends not to arrange to do things on weekends to keep your calendar clear? Surely that's your responsibility not theirs.

Self - made problem. Don't commit to everything. Learn to say no, or say maybe. Decide nearer the time. Or just say no and keep some time free.

Stop saying yes then, or speak to the other group now and book some dates in before it's too late.

OP if this friendship group doesn’t warrant dominating your free time then don’t let it. If you don’t leave space for your other friendships they will wither. Get over your FOMO and start saying No!

What an awful problem that you have no control over 🙄

There are some batshit problems on MN.

Say no?

Every second of your free time is booked between now and Christmas?

Don't you ever organise things? If you want to see someone and there's a risk you won't, take the initiative and invite them to something rather than waiting or saying yes to a bunch of stuff all with the same people.

I block weekends out for downtime then I can accept invitations or make plans nearer the time if I'm feeling sociable. Having every weekend booked with the same crowd would not suit me at all as I have a number of different friendship groups, not to mention family and a need for my own space.

This is almost as sad as when I can’t choose between the lobster and the Beluga caviar in Harrods for dinner that night 🥹

So you ar booked every Fri and sat for the next 9weekends till Xmas seeing the same lot of friends

If you want to see the other groups pick a date and say let's go for a meal /drinks who is free

What a weird post.

Don't go then.

This is a non issue. A problem of your own making that you can quite easily rectify.

Use your words and take some control over your own existence!

Are you really saying you have agreed to see the same group of people every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the next 2 months??

Do you always have a problem saying no or having a say in your own life?

You could have made plans with your other set of friends.

You don’t have to always do what people tell you to do.

Stealth brag... look how many friends I have!

Thoughts and prayers @NalafromtheLionKing, thoughts and prayers

YABU for talking about "friendship groups", unless you are in Year 8 (or maybe you are in Year 8...)

I definitely wouldn’t call being a wet blanket and not being able to stick up for myself and say no, a stealth brag.

So you’re seeing that same group every Friday and Saturday between now and Christmas? How boring! Why?

Why don't you organise something if you want to see your other friends?

I think I have 3 things on my calendar between now and Christmas. I’m more spontaneous and don’t like having too many fixed things.
