i'm just an awkward person. i've attempted in the past to step out of my comfort zone and do these types of things, but majority of the time, it's just uncomfortable for me. yes, there are a few people i click with immediately and we hit it off and i feel comfortable with them and i can completely be myself (those people have turned into best friends). but 9 times out of 10, i don't click and i'm awkward - i'm just not good at "people-ing"... i've tried to change but at 28 i have finally accepted that this is who i am lol.
i think i will actually give off awkward "vibes" in the car. i think it will be obvious that its uncomfortable for me
there are just some people who i find more socially draining than others.
Oh I would find it super draining to drive with a stranger for so long. I am an introvert also.
But it is the right thing to do. I am shocked on how many people here would not take a passenger. Sad, what the world has come to.
I'm an introvert, but I wouldn't have an issue with this. First, I'd feel safer traveling with someone. Second, you don't have to talk the whole time. You can just say that you need to concentrate on driving.
Who knows? Maybe you can make a new friend out of this.
it's a she yeah hoping we click. i tend to not click with too many people. it's very rare i feel the click lol
You are not the only introvert out there. As you are driving you will have limited face contact. Consider it a work assignment; potentially a pleasant one.
Have some fall back conversation nuggets (about the bride, news, etc.). Play music, play podcasts, etc.
Offer to trade of driving while the other naps.
Lead with.... I hope you don't mind driving with a quiet person, I tend to be on the lower energy side. Don't want you to think I'm snotty.

You would find it "super-draining" but "it is the right thing to do"? How did this become a moral issue?
For all we know this person DOES have other options, the OP is just the easiest. Is this other person going to be stranded? No one else who is going can take her? She has no other means to pay for transportation?
No - the OP can decide to do whatever makes her comfortable - whether that is to go by herself or to make a major stretch for herself and bring this other person along. Don't feel obligated OP, you're not a bad person to not want to do it. Lots of extroverts would turn her down too but for some other reason than a social one.

We do not know the other persons options.
Don't ever complain if your car breaks down late night on the highway with no cell phone reception and nobody stops to help you. It may be too uncomfortable for others to slow down and talk to you. Nobody is obligated ...

This is far from an emergency situation - this "favor" (favors are not obligatory) is neither urgent nor will it be injurious for this other woman to find another way to an optional party weekend.
