To go or not to go?

Philippines
April 15, 2016 2:18am CST
I was invited by my ex-colleague in a party tonight. Way too far from my place. I already said yes, but now I feel lazy to go. I'm trying to weigh in why did I said yes. First, I was home alone that time when they invited me, and its true that I have no plans for friday night yet. Secondly, because they invited me many times and I always say no to them. Now, my feet and my mind don't want to go. First, because they are my colleagues who likes to drink til they drop. Which I don't like because a lot of sh*tty things happen afterwards. And that's everytime they drink. Secondly, because that is far from my place. Now I'm confuse and hessitant whether to go or not to go. What do you think? What measure should I use so I will go or not go? Thanks.

this is why i dont plan. you can go, the laziness will just go away once youre there. or not. tune in to a radio, if you like the first song then go. if not, you can start creating that text of refusal.

This is a funny tossed coin game. Sort of. Just in the form of a song.

Better be honest and send them a message that you can't come . Maybe you pretend that you have a stomache . It's useless , joining them , yet you don't like what they will be doing .

I did this. Because I'm scared of what might happen. I don't mind their chats on my facebook. I don't mind if they'll talk about me or what. Good thing my best friend is stressed too so I invited her to a prayer meeting. Which turned out a better choice.

@zaga_cleuth Why be bother by their chats on FB . Just don't mind them because it only shows you are far more respectable , a person than them .

I'd like to join my ex-colleagues, but if I were you, I might not want to go either. I wouldn't like if everyone just keeps drinking, and the distance is definitely something stopping me from going too. I'd think follow your heart, if you don't feel like going, just tell them so.

This was last 2 weeks I guess. But, yes, I didn't go there. I don't wanna end up regretting my decision. Now they think of me as the most uncool person but, I'd rather choose that, instead of making fun and get drunk with them.

If I were in your shoes I will not go. I do not like people who drink. I have close colleagues who drink but even I am close with them, once I learn that they will drink, I immediately think of an alibi. It is okay to say "no" especially if you think that what will they do is not safe. I'd rather say no to them than join them and be sorry afterwards.

True! That was what I did that time. And no matter what negative things they say about me, because I didn't go there, I don't care. I will still be me.

If you dont want to go, I would say dont go. Plus theres the issue of transportation. Would you have a safe way of getting home without drinking abd driving? I think its OK to not want to go.

I really felt like I'm a big promise-breaker after not going there. However, I realized, what I exchanged for drinking is better. That's why I'm much happier.
