It's my 18th birthday on Friday, & so far this past few days I've been more anxious than I've ever been before. My sister is taking me out to some bars & pubs on Saturday with her mates & our family, which I'm already anxious enough about. But now her mate has booked me a stripper... I don't think I'll be able to handle all the attention focused on me from everyone. I told my sister a few weeks ago to make sure nobody books me a stripper because I'll be too embarassed, but I think she just found it strange that I didn't like the idea because she doesn't know how anxious I am because I always feel comfortable when I'm round her house.
What can I do?
I really didn't want to go anywhere for my birthday, but everyone was like 'you have to its your 18th' but at the end of the day, if I'm not going to enjoy myself then why set it up for me? I told them all that I want to stay in & have a quiet one but they wouldn't listen. Now its gone so far that I can't just tell everyone I'm not coming. I;m worried I'll let everyone down because when it comes to the day I might end up ignoring my phone & door & everyone will hate me for wasting the effort they've all made
My sister said they're all gonna be forcing drinks down my neck but I don;t want to drink anymore because whenever I do I spend days feeling ashamed & depressed afterwards. I hate birthdays
