It's not that I am not socialable, it's just that I don't want to do things if I think that it is logically useless and that it is not even in my interest range.
I'm in my final year of high school this year, which means a lot of things going on. I don't even want ot go to prom, but my best friend is forcing me. And we have two overnight retreats that are $65 each to go on.
I'm not a big fan of sleeping over. And I don't know since I'm sleeping during that time, but what if I'm sleeping with other people and I fart in my sleep, say something stupid or something bad about someone in the room, drool, or hell, even wet my pants?
Do you think I should go? Some people say that they regret not going to it or for missing one of them, but many people say that about prom and prom isn't like the movies.

I mean we had tons of friends that were going and would have been in their group, but we just didn't care. Instead we hung out on our own, had fun and saved money. Later we listened to everyone tell us abotu their night and it was fun looking at their pictures.
Really, if you don't want to go you don't have to. It all depends on how important you think going actually is and if you can afford it.
That being said, it won't hurt if you do go. I mean if you best friend will be there, won't it be a lot more fun? And if she is your best friend then she'll help you through some potentially embarassing moments so it won't be too bad. Besides, everyone worries about these things.
The people that would advise you to go are those that think prom is important and feel the need to tell everyone that you have to do it because they wanted to. I'm just here to tell you to decide because you won't have fun if you think the whole thing is stupid. Trust me. It'll be a waste of a night if you spend the entire time looking at the clock ready to get it over with. When you do make your decision, don't regret it. It is what you want and it won't matter as long as you are happy with your decision.

You should go and stop worrying so much , make the best of your last year , you will never regret it. It will leave you with some memories to hold and look back to , maybe even learn a thing or two. I think you should go for it, you will miss out when everyone is going to laugh and talk about it , and you will be the outcast , and you do not want that , unless your okay with being an outcast. My advice to you is do not stress and just go , you will have fun and might even make new friends , you never know. Go out and experience life.
