so there's a furry bowling event happening tomorrow and i thought about going since around december and now that it's happening in ... a few hours, i'm likely not going anymore becuase i won't know anyone there and probably won't enjoy myself and honestly i'm not so sure i want to spend all the money i would to go there and back plus pay for a bowling lane even if i split it with others
i don't know if i want advice or not i just want to vent about this a bit
-
i kinda wanted to meet more furry people physically near me since all furries i know are continents away from me but at the same time i'm getting flashbacks from the last anime con i attended (first and only by myself) and how awful it was and i do not want to repeat the experience and i'm just afraid that's exactly what could happen if i go
that and the effort involved in going is also something i think i don't want to spend tomorrow
-
anyway maybe it'll be a missed opportunity but all i can do now is hope i get more opportunities to go on a con i want under more favourable circumstances such as having someone i know with me

@squirrel I try to force myself to go to things like this, because I realise:
* If I don't go, I'll probably regret it and think about the possibilities
* If I do go, I'll either have a good time (ya), a mediocre time (the same as what I'd have at home), or a terrible time (oh no...)
so really what I'm choosing is: garunteed regret vs posibility of enjoying yourself
-
@lizardsquid this is the dilemma i've been crying about for the past few hours
-
@squirrel @lizardsquid I've always found it's better to regret the things you did do rather than the things you didn't but that might just be me
-
@troubleMoney @lizardsquid please don't guilt me into going
-
@squirrel @lizardsquid not going to do that at all, if you don't want to go then don't go, don't feel obligated to go

the event is happening in the city next over so it's a bit of a trip to get there with public transport and even tho theres meetups to go in groups i'm still not super comfortable going by myself because i won't know anyone there
at the same time the prospect of not going is already filling me with remorse bc this small bowling event is the closest thing to a furcon i'll be able to participate in in the foreseeable future and ig the furry community kinda pressures me into wanting to go to one
