Does this make me an asshole? I keep making promises and breaking them, but I'm not confident driving anymore and it's so demanding to drive to a party. Anyone have experiences like this before? How do I rebuild confidence?

You was all fine until you deleted your Facebook and turned your phone off. Instead of letting them know you can't do it you're going to let them get to the stage where they're expecting you to show and then not show. That's lame.

Ergh. I've already given a bunch of excuses why I can't go in the past, I've run out TBH.

"I haven't had any confidence driving since the crash and I don't think I can handle driving at over 100MPH".
Seriously, you didn't even need to make excuses once. Stop being a retard and tell your friends right now so they can make other plans before you spoil their night.

If I told them that they would just laugh, they wouldn't understand. They're not really my friends, just some people I got to know. All they want from me is to drive them, nothing else. They will have a good night whatever happens.

Yeah not if they're stuck hundreds of miles away because the guy that promised to drive them couldn't bear to even tell them that he wasn't going to do it so they all progressed with the night like you were going to show and by the ttime it was obvious that you weren't going to show and they can't ring you or msg you none of them will be in a state to drive.
Enjoy your kind-of-but-not-friends thinking you're a faggot pussy, bro.

Huh? If they don't go to that party they will go to the pub and get drunk until they're unconscious. Or go to a friend's house, snort 10 grams of ketamine then vandalize public phone boxes. Telling them I'm not going won't help because there's no way for them to get another lift now. None of them drive.

NOBODY needs to drive over 100mph. Your friends are retarded: Don't pussy out.
Tell them how you've learned your lesson. Like seriously.

When you're in a convoy, it's either keep up or don't go to the party. What do you mean don't pussy out?

That's not really the point. This is a matter of honour! You'll have none if you ditch and don't tell them you're ditching!

Man up and tell them that you're being more responsible than they are. Some of them are bound to end up dying of drug overdoses. They sound so dumb and careless. Are you one of them?

Not really. You're pretty much right about them being dumb and careless. They always end up collapsing at parties.

I am shit at following directions, and the boy racers in convoys are just crazy. It's impossible to find a convoy without boy racers.

I might change my mind and go to the party. I don't know. Can't decide.

It was a crazy party. Many hundreds of people there. The farmer turned up and threatened to smash up the amps next day. I sniffed a ton of K in the night, was walking around k holing, out of by body. Ended up bringing 3 grams of K back. Lots of police but no problems. I drove around 400 miles total.
