Feel like I accidentally invited myself

I was hanging out with a group of friends today and there was a discussion about going swimming at a nearby lake. Long story short the person organizing it asked the group at large who all was going. I said that I was but then backpedaled because I remembered that I didn't have a way to get there. So I asked if I could ride with them. They said that was fine and I went with them and had a great time. I got my brother to pick me up from the lake so I didn't have to get a ride back.


I think part of the reason I feel like I invited myself is because I thought a larger group was going but it turned out to just be me, and two friends of mine that I've hung out with previously. even though neither of them acted like I was imposing or they didn't want me along I still can't shake feeling embarrassed that I might've invited myself.

So I guess my question is, does it sound like I invited myself? and if not how do I stop feeling embarrassed about it?

Well, if they asked the group at large, they imply that they are asking everyone therefore it's not your fault and you shouldn't think that you invited yourself because you didnt :)

Didn't someone ask you though? You said yes. You can't help that only two other people were there. I don't see the issue here.
