[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It had to have been a mistake. You are already in her circle of friends and have been for three years. I would assume the best and seek polite clarification.

What do the others in your mutual friend group say about it?[/quote]

It sounds like they are only friendly acquaintances. If they’ve never done anything one on one, they’re not exactly close.[/quote]
I don’t understand these responses. You don’t have to be friend-friends or close to decline an invitation politely. Saying no, thank you is fine, it’s the way it was said that causes the problem.[/quote]

But she didn't say anything mean.  I don't find the response mean, [b]just her honest thoughts.[/b]  I would take it for exactly what she said.  The friend doesn't want a hang out for now, likely due to the pandemic.  They probably have another family or two they have been doing social distancing get togethers with.  There isn't a reason to blow this into some huge drama filled situation.  OP don't think too much about this.  Just say you will catch up another time and move on[/quote]

Nobody needs to hear everyone's honest thoughts unfiltered.

Yes, your kid is a brat.
You need to lose weight.
You look older than your age, stop asking.
Your DH is an a**.
How do you DO it on so little money?

And on and on.

Words matter, and there are many times that people don't tell you exactly what they are thinking, nor should they.[/quote]
