Tough Times Bach overwhelm

Hi just have to vent and see if anyone else felt the same way on their own bach. I was very overwhelmed at times - everyone wants to talk to you at the same time, there's a lot going on, people are telling you what to do, expectations are high for you to have fun. I hit some low points of frustration, and I'm worried it came across to my friends. Overall, I had a really great time and it all went as planned. But I can't get past feeling like I ruined some moments with this feeling of overwhelm. Did anyone else feel this way?

I had the exact same experience. I was so excited for my bachelorette and more than my wedding, dreamed of it as the day where I’d have all my friends together in the same place. I feel like I squandered it by emotionally shutting down, and I felt like it was my responsibility to make sure everyone had fun (I don’t have a bridal party or MOH, so while a lot of my friends asked and contributed to helping, I planned the majority of it on my own). I never would have expected it should feel so overwhelming but then again I’ve never liked being the center of attention. I also like my alone time but my Bach was short and didn’t allow for much decompression

I’m sorry you felt this way too 🫶 I can 100% relate. I also am not one to want the attention on me and don’t have a MOH/bridal party
