“I’m supposed to be going to a wedding alone this month, where my only friend is the bride – and I’m suddenly having a huge crisis of confidence and don’t want to go. Not just because I won’t know anyone (I couldn’t afford to go on the hen do so it’s not as if I ‘sort of’ know the other faces going), but I’ve been struggling with being single since Christmas and after a string of (really) bad dates, I’m not in the most positive mindset when it comes to love right now. I’m also an introvert and have never been the type of person to strike up conversations with strangers. The whole thing is making me really anxious, and I can’t even face looking for an outfit. But I’m worried if I don’t go my friend will resent me and it will come between our friendship. I mean, there are some things you just don’t cancel on, right. Or can I?”
