[quote=Anonymous]People generally assume that everyone thinks the same way as you. So you assume that people who don't open the invite have some type of active feeling about it, that there is a conscious decision to overlook it and that they are knowingly being rude because you, OP, if YOU didn't respond to an evite or open an evite you would be doing so actively. Because you see these things and take care to respond to them as a rule. And because you're really upset when people don't open them and think that upsetness is also universal and that everyone seeing unread evites is distressed.

I tend to not really pay that much attention because I don't care when people open it, or if they don't respond. I kind of figure they'll get around to it, or if not no big deal. And when evites come into my inbox, they get added haphazardly (if I saw it at all) to the list of things I need to think about in my brain. And I get around to it eventually. And I know I have good intentions when I go through this, so I just assume everyone else has good intentions too.

You cannot imagine ignoring or forgetting about or simply inadvertently overlooking an evite and that having good intentions, so you think badly of them.

Anyway, just all to say, its likely got nothing at all to do with how they view you, or how much they care, its just about how good or bad people are at managing tasks and scheduling. And that is a BROAD spectrum. [/quote]
