allsmiles87 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I got invited to a baby shower and it's today, I never rsvpd(yeah I know I'm terrible) but the mom to be I think assumes I'm just gonna show, I don't really know anyone that's going, and I'm very socially anxious. To top it all off i have a former best friend going who hates my guts and it's mutual. I'm torn because I feel rude if I miss it but I also feel so anxious about going it unbearable .. what to do?

Wiseman2 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Would your feeling be hurt if someone just blew your invitation off? The party is about her.I got invited to a baby shower and it's today, but the mom to be I think assumes I'm just gonna show Link to comment
Hollyj Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I agree. It was rude not to respond. All you had to do, was decline, and send a gift. Be a better friend. Send a gift, with an apology. Link to comment

abitbroken Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It is rude not to RSVP. It is inconsiderate and immature. RSVP and tell her that you are unable to come and if the mom to be is a relative or good friend of yours, you follow it up with sending a gift. I have social anxiety. I have to "gear up" mentally for a lot of things. Going is hard, but once i am there, I am better than I thought. Also, does the former friend of yours REALLY hate your guts? It is more likely that the ex-friend will ignore you or just small talk you then she is likely to stomp across the room at you or embarrass you. Part of your anxiety is imagining something worse. Either way, whatever you decide - it is rude to just be a no show. You must get up the gumption to tell her that you will not be able to make it. Link to comment
