Stressed Introvert surrounded by Extroverts

I'm an introvert who works with a ton of extroverts. Said extroverts were the kind of people that would bully me in highschool and avoid me in college. I've since changed my persona and image so that you wouldn't think I'm a closet nerd, but of course, I am one at heart.
Recently I was surprised they invited me to get drinks and go to the movies (50 Shades) with them. Confused, I said that I wasn't able to tonight, but I appreciated it.
Right now I'm kicking myself for not going. I feel like I'm ostracizing myself, and now they won't invite me to anything again or think I'm being rude. It wasn't exactly a movie I wanted to see to begin with really. They're all married women and I just feel so different from them.
Am I beating myself up over nothing or do I really have a problem?

You make the right choice OP.

The right choice depends on your objective... Do you wish to befriend them? Then that wasn't the best choice... Do you wish to just do what you want? Then it was!
You see, right and wrong are veeery relative.
I myself was an introvert for long, now a days i'm quite talkative and expressive. I wouldn't pass those oportunities, like the one you had, because my goal was to open up!
So think about your goal. Are you fine being an introvert? I used to be, but then one time I realized I wanted to change...
But anyways, I do think you are beating yourself to hard for something that isn't so big. I do believe you should beat yourself just a little bit if you want to open up; but I don't think you should if you wish remain an introvert.

Also forgot to mention im a woman, if this changes context.

I don't think it does... I'd just add from "befriend them" to "befriend or date them" on my post above the one you said you're a woman.
But in this condition, it's a lot more likely for you to be invited again. Speccially if you are attractive.

Thanks anon. Maybe I'll invite them to lunch next week.
