I really don’t know how to say I don’t want to go without seeming like I’m antisocial.
Everybody is different. Not everyone is an extrovert and able to handle the stimulation of being around other people for an extended period of time.
IF you were to accept the invitation, would there be a way you might manage some alone time so you could recharge your batteries? If you could, it might solve your problem. However, if the answer to that question is no, be honest. Tell your friends the truth, that this is one excursion you will have to pass on and why.My 12-year-old daughter has a girlfriend she’s been “dating” for about eight months.
My concern is the length of this relationship. I remember when I was their age I had a crush on a different boy practically every week, and boyfriends didn’t last long. Is it healthy for her to be in such a serious relationship? She’s a very social person, has lots of friends and is active in sports. Part of me wishes they would break up so she can experience other relationships and not be tied down at such a young age.
