Do you feel guilty not showing for someone's parties?

Question

I want to go, and then I all of a sudden think how nice it would be to just stay home, make dinner, etc, so, I think of a good excuse, and e'mail them , usually the same day or at the last minute because I've been going back and forth about going all day.

Answer 1

I usually dont, If its someone close to me and very important, i;d clear my plans, but for just a friend or a co-worker? Than its alright, call them up during the party and just say hey i hope you guys are having a great time! Sorry i couldnt make it.

Answer 2

if you feel that you have to stay home stay home. but make shour to go sometimes because that is how you loose friends. (what comes around goes around)

Answer 3

i only feel guilty if i havent told them that im not coming.. if i have told them then i dont feel bad at all cos i know they wont be waiting or wondering where i am lol

Answer 4

Nope. It is so much if I am not there if I don't feel like being there. For me and the people at the party.

Answer 5

Lols yeah I do feel slightly guily cause then you wonder well hmmm maybe it would have been good, and they depended on me to go and all that kind of stuff. But then I watch scrubs, and somehow all those worries dissapear :P

Answer 6

im not a party goer but when its family sometimes yes but it honestly depends on how close i am to them.

Answer 7

Even with a totally legit excuse, I feel horrible. I don't know why, but I do.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

Not at all.  If I don't feel like going, I just don't go.  I make no excuses except that I didn't feel like it.
