I’m flying tomorrow to visit a friend for her birthday. I’m 26F for reference.

I’m only going to know her. She’s renting an Airbnb on the beach but it’s with a bunch of girls she’s friends with that I don’t know.

For some reason, I’m getting a lot of anxiety about going. I feel like I’m going to feel really out of place and going to just wish I was back home with my dog and my boyfriend. I wish I didn’t think this way, but I’m already preparing to feel this way.

Also, she’s the type of friend that doesn’t like to drink too much or go out and do fun things like that. She’s great and I do appreciate her as a friend, but I know it’s going to just be a really “chill” type of beach day and for some reason that gives me more anxiety because it’ll just be really low key and I’ll have more time to think and be anxious.

It’s also just hard in general for me to leave my boyfriend. I’m going to be gone for 5 days and it seems like a really long time 😕
