[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, fixing that.

[quote=Anonymous]I think you've worked yourself into a tizzy over feeling snubbed -- as opposed actually BEING snubbed -- and a lot of this is really just silly thinking in your head. You don't describe any actual hostile behavior, so your reaction to solicitations now seems rather ... petty. It's almost like you believe snubbing these people now would be some form of retribution. It's very strange and not a healthy way to think. I'm with your husband -- nothing ventured, nothing gained. You won't even venture.[/quote]

I have to agree with this. I didn't see anything in your post to suggest they actually excluded you, it sounds more like they were perfectly pleasant, but you put up a wall because of your own insecurities so they never had an opportunity to get to know you or your family, which might have lead to more invitations and social opportunities with them all these years. Now they're finally getting to know your family via your childrens' friendships, and I think it's natural to want to get to know your kids' friends' parents a bit. It's also possible that they've liked you all along but couldn't figure out how to make any in-roads with you (since you seemed so closed off), and now they feel like they've found an opportunity.[/quote]
