My friends are all going camping in a couple of weeks. l just do not really feel like going. Camping aint my cup of tea. Sleeping in an uncomfortable sleeping bag, and having no shower or propper toilet etc just does not excite me too much. All my mates love camping though and if l do not go they will think I am boring. Am l weird for not wanting to go camping?

Have you been camping before? If not, why not just give it a go. Where is your spirit of adventure?

Yes

Yes, there is something wrong with you. Camping is fun.

no, its just not your thing

no l hate it too im get cold cant sleep l like sitting in the tent and that but l like my own bed on a nightime

no l have friends that dont like it

No, plenty of people do not like camping.

l do not like camping either.

But l do not think l am weird.

Maybe everyone else is weird.

Stay home and watch the weather forecast.

You're not wierd, you have just different tastes - they should understand and not think youre boring. There are probably plenty of things you enjoy which they might not, or things you all enjoy which you can do together and all have fun with, so l am sure you're not boring just because you have a difference of opinion on this one little thing.

if you dont go you want now,

Same here! & no ur not weird, l dont like camping. l am not a city girl, but l just dont like camping that much. Do not feel like ur being pressured into it, if u dont want to go then don't. just tell ur friends, u do not feel like camping, & u do not really like it. If they r ur real friends they will try & persuade u a little, yes.BUT they will eventually back off & go without you.

OR u can tell them ur busy & make plans that same day.but I'd go with the first one.
XD

yes it sounds like there is something extremely wrong with you, it sounds like you should go see a therapist.

Its not everyones cup of tea but you should give it a go it can be a laugh

No, thats not weird everyone is different some people like camping some people don't. Also camping really can be uncomfortable but it might sometimes be fun to.

No, your not weird. You just do not like the outdoors! As for me, l have to go camping. It gets annoying with all the mosquitoes and stuff.

Ooh l agree with you. l once went camping in 1967 and it was awful. l have never repeated the experience and that was 41 years old.

No u r NOT weird. Camping is ok for those that like it but if u r like me (sounds like u are) a holiday is meant for relaxing & treating yourself - not 'roughing it'. There is nothing lilke a dry comfortable hotel bed & nice hot shower in private, food cooked for u the luxury of the privacy of ur room, not listening to other noisy campers, those that want to camp fair enough but l would rather stay at home than be cold, wet misearable or in good weather creepy crawlies flying into ur tent. Then there is the problem of needing a torch to go to the toilet in the middle of the night! No find friends who want a PROPER holiday thats what l say

No your not weird l would not like to go to certain places on holiday and people always ask why, but its just not what l like. If you are going to hate it and be miserable then you are better off just saying you can not go, it might be fun though holiday is with Friends are alot different than holiday is with family, if you have a shower and toilet block its not too bad!

not at all! l hate camping. i've only been once but l do not wanna go ever again! it is cold, uncomfortable, it is awful!!

you are not too crazy... if you like the outdoors, sometimes it is easier and more fun just to go hiking for a day. then you do not have to carry all that shit in and wipe your butt with poison ivy and what not.

No, l hate it when ye cannae pee in comfort in yer holiday place!! l wid rather be howfed intae a nice caravan wi' inside toilet. Why dae folk think that it is fun tae drag yer botty intae the dark o' the night and negotiate muddy fields wi' a wee torch, jist tae get tae the bog???? Nightmare city....

no, nothing wrong, just not your thing. makes more room for those of us who love it. just one thing, l will bet sometime during the trip your mates will say, ''i wish, mr. looking for was here, he might have found some''. good luck finding your in that comfortable bed. ~~~*<>{

you should be ashamed to call your self a man. get off your scared but go get your self a nice air mattress.they even sell portable crappers now.you can get all most Any thing to make camping more fun.it sounds to me your just scared of the unknown.

hell yeah

Yes.

No. If you do not like it do not go. If you never camp before you might fine you like it if you do go. Would you like for your mates to try something you like? Just sit down and talk with them. If they are your mates they will understand. Good luck.

l love camping but my best friend never goes with me. She says her idea of camping out is staying at a Holiday Inn Express!
Life would be boring if we all liked the same things.

One question: Have you ever tried it? Take proper toilet paper with you, and a comfortable air or foam mattress.

But if you decide it is just not for you, no, there is nothing wrong with you. Is there something wrong with me if l do not like playing softball?

l thought that last year b4 l went for my first time.but its not that bad..all campsite now have private showers & toilets depends on were u go but most places put stuff on the ground to soften it so its not hard to lay on..it is a great larf everyone ya meet is really nice. its far from boring there is always somat great to do.im going again this year. there is nothing wrong with u for not wanting to go, but my advice would be to try it first.least then u can say for sure u dont like it..

You are not wierd at all. Recalling some enforced camping expeditions at school in miserable weather with people who l did not like and who did not like me is the kind of experience that can put people off.

Going with friends is quite different though. Why not try it with them? So long as the weather is okay it should be fun.

While l really enjoy camping, l certainly understand that not everyone does. Maybe you'd enjoy renting a cabin instead. You'd have all the comforts of home, and could hike and do what you'd like to do. It should be an easy compromise, see if the guys will go for that.
