I am at university and a while ago I decided to run as lead volunteer for a scheme run by the student union (coz someone told me I'd be good for this role)
When I told the volunteer team I was signing up, they were really pleased as the scheme hadn't been able to run for a few years coz they didn't have a lead volunteer. I said I was looking forward to starting, and we started to plan a few events.
However I always had a feeling that it wasn't quite for me. I wasn't really enjoying the planning, and nobody else seemed very interested in joining the scheme. Alongside that work was starting to pile up, I was getting stressed and another opportunity came up for me to join another SU society
So I sent the volunteer team a very apologetic email saying I was going to quit, and now I feel terrible about quitting before I've even begun, especially seeing as they were so nice to me about starting. I feel happier now I've quit, but I also feel super guilty. Was it the right thing to do, or am I a terrible person?
