[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best thing for you to do is to nurture multiple friends and friend groups, and also your own interests, so that you don't obsess over one friend and what you have been invited to.  Also, do you really want to be invited to an event where you don't really know anyone else except the host?  A good host will invite a mix of people that will socialize well together and enjoy each other's company.  It's no fun if you only know the host.[/quote]

This is smart and so true. We had friends who told us they invited a friend group to celebrate something. They didn’t invite us, and I didn’t feel hurt about that. For a different event, we were part of the friend group invited. None of this bothered me.

A different friend didn’t invite me to a family event and sent me a note to apologize. I didn’t even know the event was happening and didn’t care I wasn’t invited, because I’m not close with their family member. This didn’t bother me a bit.

On another thread, someone said this person wasn’t my friend if they didn’t invite me to this event. It wasn’t a wedding.

To the person who said I am a narcissist. I was raised by one so do not know what is normal. I appreciate being able to ask here. I just don’t always know what is normal. Therapy works well yet I’m probably going to have questions and odd ways of seeing things due to a background with abuse hurled at me.

Thank you for the replies. I’m going to read through them again. Some of you sound like calm and normal people, and I need reasoned answers like this.
