Am I being selfish for not going out?
I'm literally exhausted as I'm writing those words. I will be going to Thailand in two days for a period of six months and I still have a few things to do before I got, not to mention that I haven't researched anything on the country.
I've been working like crazy for the passed 4 days and I just want to sleep tonight before I get up and finish everything but two of my friends really expected me to go out and they had been pressurizing me all day. They said I should go out because it's my friend's birthday and it's also my last night but that's precisely the reason I don't want to go. I'm so tired, I'm feeling ill and I just want to feel rested before I go. Is that not normal? I told them I would go but I know shouldn't for my own sake.

Let your friends know that you appreciate their invitation but - with it being your last night - explain that you are preparing for jet lag and a long next few days as you tie up the remaining ends of your travel plans. They should be happy for you, not pressuring you into doing something you are clearly not mentally or physically ready for. Wish your friend a happy birthday and get some rest, dear. Safe travels!

What don't your friends understand about leaving for SIX MONTHS! That's a lot of loose ends to tie up and preparations to make. Don't go if you are truly too tired. It's nice that you want to celebrate your friend's birthday but it's not the end of the world if you don't go. And as far as it being your last night here, you and your friends should have had a Bon Voyage party a week ago.
So NO, you are not being selfish.... your friends are.
And BTW... sometimes it's OK to be selfish.

If you don't want to go, just tell your friends you wish you could make it but you need to take care of things before you leave. Hopefully they'll understand.
