Should I go or not?  |
|
My dormmate is going to celebrate her birthday tonight in a bar. Well, I'm the kind of person who doesn't hang out in bars. I don't even drink and I'm not into dancing either. In short, I don't really wanna go. However, everyone in the dorm is attending and if ever I will not attend, then I would be the only one left in here. They might label me as "KJ" (kill joy).
Hence, my question: Should I go or not?

They always need a responsible one there who they can trust to make sure nothing bad happens or even to be driven. As for dancing, you don't really have to, just move your feet from side to side. I just think you should go cause this person is your friend, and it shows that you care about him or her.

ladyhope (245) | 4 months ago | I agree. I feel the same as you about going out and I always regret giving in and going to bars when asked by my friends. I always think "i should have just stayed home." Its your choice, and your pride should override the 'kj' labels given to you by people who drink because not drinking is obviously the smarter/better option.

3. lrglara (1023) | 4 months ago | You can still enjoy without drinking and dancing, if you're not really up to it. I, like you, don't drink and don't like dancing either. i never hang out in bars and i've never been in one. but if your friends really want you to go, maybe you should but tell them upfront that you're not into those things (like drinking and dancing)... if they really respect you, they're not going to imply it anymore. Maybe its not what you do... They just want your presence there.

4. sysdexlicwriter (1139) | 4 months ago | If your gut feeling is that you should not go, then I would not go. I would still wish the person Happy Birthday and try to do something special for their birthday. You will not be the first or the last to not participate.
If you do decide to go, I would order something like a fruit juice and have it straight or ask it to be mixed with some bicarbonate of soda for a little fizzy affect. If you are a person who does not enjoy drinking, smoking, and dancing, you probably won't enjoy watching others do this. Maybe you could talk to a counselor at the college for some advice or direction to find others with your same philosophy.

5. eLsMarie (1161) | 4 months ago | it depends... is it really a must to go there? if not, don't force yourself. i think she would understand if you'll explain to her everything... anyways, you owe your absence to only one person and to all of your dorm mates.

| rodarose (29) | 4 months ago | Thank you.=)) I just can't understand why most people would rather celebrate their birthdays late at night in a bar than in a nice restaurant at lunch, which I think would be more apt for such event.

6. webearn99 (314) | 4 months ago | Common courtesy demands that you go. You can just hang on to a fruit punch or a non alcoholic mocktail of a soda for the evening ans spend some time. Spending time in a happy atmosphere will be a good break from the tensions of life. You can always make up an excuse to leave after spending a decent amount of time. You owe it to the friendship you have with her.
