Many of my friends are going to prom, while I am not. They won't shut up about it and it gets really annoying. They ask me why I'm not going, and there are numerous reasons.
1) I don't have a date and I really don't feel like paying full price for just myself and then feeling like a f***stick being there by myself.
2) There is no way that I would have been able to get a date if I would have wanted one at any point.
3) Money: It's not that I don't have the money, I think that it's just a waste of money.
4) I don't want to go because, as I previously mentioned, I think it's a waste of money, and I think that it is a waste of time.
So, what is the best way to respond to their annoying rants about "prom this and prom that" and the way they all talk about how awesome their dates are?

In a firm but gentle voice simply ask your friends to refrain from discussing the prom in your presence. Tell them you understand their excitement but this type of thing is not for you and you find the continual prom chat annoying. Ask them to respect your feelings as much as you consider theirs.
People experience the same thing with weddings, pregnancies and children. Obviously all are happy, joyous occasions but not everyone needs to hear the same conversation about these personal matters 24/7.
And not everyone feels the same way about these occasions...and that is okay.
