Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Context: I have a tabletop group that I meet up with occasionally depending on the schedules of everyone involved. We haven’t been able to meet for quite a while and were planning to do so this weekend. Unfortunately, one of our friends was overseas and I had prior commitments so we tried to arrange it in the evening, because if I didn’t go as well we’d have had to cancel. Fast forward a day or two, my commitments were cancelled and I let them know I could meet them earlier in the day instead, and we agreed to do that. But fast forward again to the next day when we were supposed to meet, I woke up with a really bad throat (half of my speech were whispers or zombie-groans, so it’s not just my voice being raspier or scratchier), and wanted to skip out. 

Problem was that they were there early, and told me to go regardless and that I could use text to voice or hand gestures, and asked me just to go regardless. I feel pretty bad about having to skip out last minute but I also currently have trouble swallowing and cannot speak at all to anyone given how bad my throat is, and just wanted to stay at home until it got better.  I told them I was going to be late because I wanted to see a doctor, and they proceeded to tell me not to go and just stay home after if I was only going to turn up in a few hours (presumably due to waiting for the doctor and the travel time, since I lived a lot farther than they do from each other). 

AITA? I get that the group wouldn’t have been able to run without me (and previously I ended up missing a session because I couldn’t pull out of a commitment a few sessions ago, though they made their own arrangements to accommodate my absence), and we spent a lot of time to plan this especially since our schedules only recently freed up, but I genuinely didn’t want to go because I couldn’t speak at all and felt like I wouldn’t have been able to participate properly anyway given how I can’t communicate in a game that requires you to do so as well as I want to, and that I wouldn’t have enjoyed it that much because of how sick I was - so I felt like they were prioritising themselves over me.
