You don’t need to include everyone but you do need to have enough class to not rub it in people’s faces. So so strange.
Why is posting pictures of events with a group of friends akin to rubbing it in people’s faces? I love to see the memories of past girls’ trips, concerts with friends, trips out to the wineries, etc.. pop up on FB. I do not equate posting it to rubbing it in. If I wanted to rub it in, I’d take a few pics and text them to a few friends saying, “ Wish you were here!” (Or something else obnoxious)
On the other hand, I don’t post every family outing on FB…it’s just not as exciting.
You can set privacy settings so it still comes up in memories but everyone doesn’t have to see it. You can do what you want, but know that many of your friends think you’re very immature for posting all your friend outings.
What? I don’t think they are immature for posting their outings with other friends.
This is weird. Do you not have many friends IRL where seeing a post on social media is that psychologically scarring to you?
Zero f*cks are given when I see other friends out having fun. Some of you need more friends and thicker skin.
Repeat after me: BE THE INVITER.

This just makes you look pathetic and needy. You know why you didn’t get invited? Because they didn’t want you there. It sucks (I’ve been there before), but it is what it is.
No. It makes you look strong and in control.
It would make you look unhinged. people will understand why you were not invited.
How? You just have to be clear and upfront
Asking me why you weren’t invited on a girls’ trip is unlikely to score you an invite to the next one. I would respond more favorably to, “That trip to X looked like a lot of fun. Let me know if another one gets planned—I’d love to join you.”
I’d probably then even tell you why you didn’t make the cut for this last trip: Person Y planned it; we couldn’t have more than 5 in the AIRBNB; it was a spontaneous trip that was not planned far enough in advance to invite others; etc…

Omg no. You may hope it does, but it doesn’t.
So you want OP to just not do anything and be a doormat. Sorry, that’s wrong. “Living your best life” is always the answer posters give and it never results in anything. Being strong and calling people out prevents this behavior from happening again

How many went? So they have other friends they also didn't go with. You can't go everywhere with everyone.
Have your ever invited people to a girl's weekend?
OP said it was one group of gals, and she was a part of that group, but wasn’t included. It’s not that hard.

Evolution made it important to be part of a group for survival. Hard to fight instinct.
