[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was the milestone event? Like a wedding where they had to pay $200 per head? Maybe they wanted to invite only a close circle of relatives and friends to save money, and work friends did not make the cut. But she still considered you a friend enough that when she knew you were close by, she wanted to get together with you. If you like her company, accept that invitation and don’t ask for more. It’s unclear whether she invited others in your circle and not you.[/quote]

A birthday. I had been invited in previous years. Oh, well.

Then I'd definitely be hurt too, OP, especially if there wasn't a gap of you two not keeping in touch for a few years where it would make more sense not to be invited to the last birthday. [/quote]

Thank you for the validation. I feel better about it. One reason it stung is because we had previously invited each other over the years. I can handle a shift in friendships usually but this one hurt.

Weirdly, we ended up talking today and they kept wanting to stay on the phone while I was ready to close the call.[b] I think there are things I will never understand here. [/b]

OP, do you possibily have a neurological disorder such as ADHD, Aspergers or are on the spectrum for Autism?

The only reason I ask, is that you sound very much like my brother who has severe ADHD.
His greatest challenge throughout life is picking up on social cues... it's plagued him all of his life, no matter how hard he tries to understand.

Similar to what you've done here, he's always asked my opinion (as an unbiased 3rd party) when he has a situations like this, because he's afraid that he's not being the most reliable narrator of the story due to his not understanding people's intent sometimes.
Your answers make me feel like you may struggle with this too? ❤
