So, I hope this post doesn't come across as whiny, because I am aware that many people here would like to be in my position, but hear me out please. A couple of years ago, I used to be unsatisfied with the state of my social life, as I felt like I didn't have enough friends or things to do. Long story short, last year I joined not one but two choirs (I love singing) and that changed everything for me. I still have the (few) friends I had before, plus some more, and then groups where not everyone is my friend but that I still like hanging out with.

The thing is, sometimes everything seems to come together at the same time, and two plans come up at the same time, or maybe a plan I really like comes up when I've already committed to something else, so I have to choose. This obviously leads to FOMO, plus me being kind of a couch potato and getting overwhelmed if I can't have my resting at home time.

Is there any way to learn how to manage this? I know I'm incredibly lucky to have this kind of problem, but it still feels like a problem after all. I don't want to let my older friends down, but the new people I like feel like a shiny object and I am the greediest of crows.
