[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question. So Op's neighbor was wrong to post party pics on Instagram because people who weren't invited could see. Got it.

So then...should the party also be indoors? Someone who wasn't invited could walk by and see. Oh, and while we're at it, the lights should be off - someone passing by the house could notice the lights on and realize there's a party going on and feel left out. And don't forget, when the hostess is shopping for party supplies she shouldn't mention it's for a party because someone at the store might overhear and feel left out.

Absolutely ridiculous. It's okay to feel left out! Really, I've felt left out before and it stings a bit. What's not okay is to be so sensitive that others can't have fun without you. That's a surefire recipe for continuing to feel left out, because people will think you're annoying and stop inviting you to things.[/quote]

NP.  I think you're comparing apples to oranges.  Think back to pre-social media.  I was in high school in the late nineties.  I wasn't cool so didn't go to any cool kids parties.  I felt left out, but that was and is a normal part of life.  They'd talk about the parties on Monday morning, which again, was fine - as you said, it's ok to be left out.  No big deal to hear about a party in passing. But it'd be super weird if they brought pictures from their party and passed them out for everyone to see - "look at this awesome party we had on Saturday night!"

There's a difference between living and enjoying your life (and whoever inadvertently drives by / hears about it can just deal with not being invited), versus posting it on social media for everyone to see.[/quote]
