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

[gowiththefloifonly]

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.

You absolutely can turn some of the invites down on the basis that you might be busy with other friends, or at least don't commit either way. Why do you feel you have to say yes to them all when you don't want to be so booked up?

This is definitely going to end up on the look at what is being discussed on MN threads on other sites

OP - there is what 8/9 weekends left between now and Christmas. Why do you need to see the same group so frequently at the detriment of others? As pp said why don’t you set something up with group 2 rather than waiting?

Ah daily mail chasing article?

I’ve just read your other thread OP and you do have an issue with sticking up for yourself/saying no.

You need to start putting yourself first.

If that means having some days where you don’t do anything or have DH look after the kids so you can have some free time then so be it.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes but if we don’t put ourselves first sometimes then we’ll end up breaking.

How did that happen? Who has their life booked up 3 months in advance other than the royal family? Why are you not in control of your own social planning? What happens if you don't go out for an evening? Why are you not contacting your other social groups and putting dates in the diary? Do you not know how to organise?

I find it hard to believe that every single night between tonight and the 24 December is taken up with a social engagement. Who has the money, or indeed the energy, for that?

World’s smallest violin. I’d love to be that booked up tbh.

Try to brag that your popular without bragging that your popular. Jeez OP there is only one person to blame 🙄

What are you booked up to do with these people.

I knew the OP wouldn’t be back.

You poor thing. Imagine having a big problem 🙄

Obviously too booked up with Christmas dos.

Sounds like my worst nightmare having every weekend booked up until the end of the year! Just say no.

I had a friend like this. She was always just SO 'busy'! and had to plan her calendar and write down dates she could see me. I couldn't live like that.

It's all very tiresome.

<sigh>

its The curse of being so popular

FOMO
