Okay so prom is coming up and I'm single. Most of my friends are coupled up, and those who aren't are pairing with another friend. I don't really feel comfortable talking or dancing unless I am doing it with my friends and I can't handle third wheeling. HOCO this year was just me wandering aimlessly and crying about being lonely then eventually joining in to dance for a bit. Nothing can compare to HOCO of '21 and I don't want to waste money if I won't have fun.
On the other hand, I have a really nice dress that I can't necessarily dance in but is really pretty. If I can't feel good enough to dance might as well take that one opportunity to wear this dress. I dance at almost every party, so I guess in some regard this will be my time to shine. What should I do?
Thank you! ALL my friends are going to prom, hanging out with anyone else isn't a choice I can really make. It's gonna be painful regardless, seeing myself grow apart from my middle school best friends but I guess I'd rather take time to mourn those friendships than to pretend everything is going alright and go to prom.
I'm not a senior and maybe next year things will clear up but, honestly a movie sounds a lot more fun for where I am rn. Thanks for the recommendation

Honestly there's way more going on to all my friendships than I can really put together. It's not drama. I used to have really shitty mental health issues, and now that I've really worked on them me and my friends have nothing to talk about. Each day isn't a struggle anymore, it's just an average day, and while that's great for me it's not great for conversation. And then there's whole MESS with one of my really close friends, no arguments, just really big sudden changes (to put it in the most brief and vague terms).
