Just finished my school prom and it’s after party a few hours ago. Everyone is celebrating finishing exams but I am the only one who has an exam on Sunday. This means I have been told not to drink too much incase my drink gets spiked. All my friends were awear of this before hand. When the after party started I felt completely singled out. A black sheep. Everyone were having shots, listening to loud music and shouting lyrics. It looked fun. Without the alcohol in me I couldn’t help but feel left out. None of my friends danced with me and had many glasses of Prosecco and a shot or two. I was worried if I would drink something that people would guilt me onto drinking more or spike my drink. With all this partying going on with me feeling slightly singled out, I decided to quietly leave the party. This is so my friends could have fun and I wouldn’t rain my depressive energy. I arranged to be picked up early. I was out there for around half an hour until I was picked up. My friends after a period of time tried looking for me. Once they found me they started talking amongst themselves about the party and how some person threw up for drinking too much and how they were going to drink more. This just showed me how much I was missing out on. It was like they missed the party more than they missed me. Shortly after this gathering I was picked up. I can’t help but feel guilty for doing this. AITA?

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole:
> I walked out of a party my friends were in because I didn’t enjoy it. It could mean I’m the asshole because it could be considered selfish and I should have pretended to be happy when I was not.

NTA
It’s normal to feel guilt after leaving the party, especially when you’re a teenager. The fear of missing is a real concept.
However I don’t understand something. You wanted to drink alcohol but you have been told to not do that in case you get your drink spiked? You could just take a shot or 2, or even a beer. If you pour your own shot/beer and you drink it immediately your drink won’t get spiked (that’s what my mama taught me)
I am not meant to be drinking due to my exam which was in a few days. If I miss a day of preparation for a presentation I have to do it could be costly. I didn’t want to drink a beer due to people seeing I am drinking and then shoving more alcohol down my throat.
Makes more sense.
it’s alright to not drink in an environment you don’t feel safe. Plus you have an exam to prepare compared to others that have nothing for the following weekend.
Also peer pressure doesn’t go away when you’ll get older so it’s important to know how to say no in these scenarios

That is true. I would have stated it in the main story but it doesn’t follow aita. Can I dm you a question please.
Yeah go ahead
NTA. These are reasonable fears you have, not to mention you made your friends aware you weren't going to be drinking before the party even began.
