I need some advice

So the study group I'm in are going for a picnic. My classmates and specially the teacher insisting that I should go.
Now the reason I don't want to go is, everyone has a solid group of friends here while I have none so I'm afraid once we're there everyone is going to hang out with their friends or bf/gf leaving me alone. Our group is mostly a very large outgoing group with a lot of loud, excitement loving extroverts in it. I can generally get along with them in a more controlled, peaceful situations but in this type of situations, chances are hight that they'll get on my nerves.
The reason why I think I should go is, its a good chance to face my fears, maybe I'm just overthinking and will end up having a good time, I want to get more comfortable with loud/crazy type of socializing and it seems like a nice opportunity, maybe I'll get closer to one of the groups a little more or get to meet some new people.
So I'm confused! They're going on Sunday and I've to let them know tomorrow so they can make arrangements accordingly. I can't make up my mind, what should I do?

You should go:). It should give you an opportunity to get to know people like you wanted and, at the very least, it'll be nice to be outside. If you want, you could even bring something to entertain you when you have some free, alone time, like reading a book or something. But, if you make yourself seem open, people may just rope you in.

But, it is your choice at the end of the day. Do whatever you feel would be best. Good luck, Srijita:thumbup:.

I think you should go. Often these things are way less daunting than we make it out to be. So take the chance and go. You never know it may turn out great. :)

Go for it! :) Especially since other classmates and the teacher insisted - it means they like you and wish you to be with them!
If there are solid groups of friends it means you can stay with one group and then with another a bit - and maybe take a walk of sollitude (or even go to the toilet to get some calm :p ) inbetween
People that aren't 'in groups' can be priceless, you can be a sort of 'wanderer' taking ideas or conversation from one group to the next... Or just decide to stick with the friendliest group or a few people you like (the ones that wanted you to go, and/or those that you talk to otherwise...)
Even if it turns out a bit stressful, you'll be practising social skills and possibly have fun too!!

Thanks guys. So I've finally told them that I'm going. And now that I've decided I'm terrified! Everyone's talking about how awesome its gonna be and how they'll just dance through the entire trip and do activites, have fun. Its scary. I hope things turn out well
*fingers crossed*
