My friends are bugging me to go to this party tonight, but I'm sick. Seriously. They don't believe me, they just think it's me being anti-social. Should I go anyway and make them all sick just to prove a point?
hailebop answered Tuesday December 30 2003, 12:00 pm: Don't go to the party if you are too ill to go just to prove a point. Apologize to your friends that you can't attend, but don't be tempted to go along as it will only slow your recovery. It sounds like your friends could be a bit more sympathetic, though - perhaps mention to them that you really don't need accusations thrown at you when you are feeling ill to being with?

Pandabalism answered Sunday December 28 2003, 6:09 pm: No. Unless you're feeling up to it. But, why have to prove yourself to anyone? If they're your real friends they'd believe you. I mean, seriously. And if you're feeling like you need to show them you're not being anti-social, then set up a get together for when you're not sick. That way they can see that you are very social, and you won't have to feel so bad for missing out on a party. [ Pandabalism's advice column | Ask Pandabalism A Question ]

Good Luck hon!

MichiruKaiou answered Sunday December 28 2003, 1:32 pm: That's actually quite funny. They shouldn't be forcing you to go to a party, who cares? Let them think what they want, it's your health thats more important then a party. Tell them you'll do something with them once they get better, heck, have them even ask your mom how you're doing just to prove you really are sick.

ScaperJess answered Sunday December 28 2003, 12:22 pm: That would be pretty funny... bet they would never doubt you again... even if you don't go they will get over it, just might take a bit but they just want you to go... they probably deep down believe you they are just in denial [ ScaperJess's advice column | Ask ScaperJess A Question ]
shay*shay answered Sunday December 28 2003, 11:21 am: If you are sick you probably shouldnt go and spread whatever it is you have. If they dont believe you have them come over and see how you're feeling and afterwards go to the party. So stay home and get some rest!
