How do I quit feeling shitty about something so stupid. I know i'm being irrational but this builds on bad shit i've felt since I was a kid getting bullied in grade school
if you are going to a festival try talking to people there and not give a fuck
in the long term, prove yourself to yourself by working on a hobby or creating something
Drink heavily
College is better anyhow
If you're going just because you feel like a loser for not going to prom, you're going for the wrong reason
But just try to make the most of it anyway, do some drugs and meet some people, you'll have fun if you relax a little bit and try to enjoy yourself
if it makes you feel better, tonight is my prom night but instead of going out, wearing a $500 dress and getting trashed with friends that i don't have, i'm going to spend prom night alone in my room on 4chan getting drunk by myself

It's good that you wanna go even tho you are going by yourself. But try to ditch the idea that it's somehow shameful if you're staying at home.
It's about owning yourself. If Rihanna or Brad Pitt didn't feel like going out for a specific event, would they crawl up in their bed and feel like a loser about it? Hell no. They would just do something that they like and not caring what other people think.
So just go with a open mind. Focus on having a good time. Look for some friends and try to talk with them. Trust me you are way overthinking things.

This. I didn't go to prom because I frankly didn't want to and I don't regret it one bit

That sounds way cooler than prom.
