Another decision I don't want to take.

So my (best and only) friend is inviting me, like the past 2 years to a convention. I have social anxiety, I don't like crowded places, nor do I like hanging out in groups, especially when I don't know anyody but 1 person. She really wants me to come with her 6 other friends. Honestly, I don't want to. I don't want to because there are other people. I want to spend time with her but this is very stressful for me. I don't know if I should accept or not. We don't spend much time together as she lives in a different city as me, so I feel like I should make an effort to go, but I really don't know. It is very frustrating to have to chose between felling okay and your friend. Any advice ?

Hope youre okay today?
It's hard to make a decision like that. Have you told your friend about your social anxiety? It might help her understand your situation and that it's not that you don't want to spend time with her but you struggle in those situations. You could suggest to meet in a more chilled environment so you still spend time with her.
