FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), I suffer from it... Our singles group is going strong, used to be just the meetup leader was setting meets, but now people are having her create outings and I try and make any that I'm able, but it's getting out of control.
Everyone wants me to go, I get texts asking me if I'm going, then I get texts saying I was missed and wish I was there. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that I'm fun enough that people like being around me, but I need to work on making more time for myself, I'm an introvert and sometimes get a bit overwhelmed with everyone around. So I pick days that I'm not going to fill, then I get invited to something that seems really fun and the internal struggle begins.
It's kinda crazy that I spend a year after moving here pretty much alone, and now I can't find time to be alone.. there's got to be a happy median, I just need to navigate to that place.

It's nice to be the belle of the ball, so to speak, but it is hard when you are an introvert and you really need that down time. I'm glad for you, though, coconut. Glad that you have options. Here's hoping you find your happy medium soon.

Hang in there and please be patient. This problem is being experienced on the other forums as well.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
