Is this a weird response from a friend, after telling her that we are finally getting to go somewhere we’ve always wanted to go

So catching up with two friends, I say something, in an excited manner, along the lines oh, guess what, we’ve finally gone and booked Florida, so excited

friend replies, oh, didn’t you go there last year

I guess, I just know if someone told me something they were excited about in that manner, I’d at least say something like yay!

but tbf you don’t know how she’s kinda got form for being someone that can’t really be happy for others

It's not weird. She just got mixed up.

Did you go last year? Maybe you've discussed it a few times?
I wouldn't know where every friend has gone on holidays previously!
I dont think its a weird reply OP. I find it weirder that you have made a thread about it. 😕

Your friend had simply forgotten where you went last year, and made an assumption. I wouldn't read too much into it, to be honest. I doubt other people remember where I went on holiday last year, and I wouldn't particularly expect them too.

That doesn’t seem a weird response to me.

Maybe if you’re always going on about Florida they think you have already been?

JackieDaytonaLuckyBrews · 16/04/2025 16:36

Maybe she thought you went last year? I wouldn't think anything of it.

Dollshousedolly · 16/04/2025 16:36

I don’t think it’s a weird response at all. It can be hard to keep up/remember where friends holiday each year. She probably heard you mention you’d like to go there at one stage and remembered it as you’d been there.

BlondeMummyto1 · 16/04/2025 16:36

It’s a trip away.. What sort of reaction did you expect? It isn’t exciting or that interesting for others.

Coali · 16/04/2025 16:35

Sounds like something I’d say! I’m terrible about remembering things like that. I think you’re overthinking it a bit.

DappledThings · 16/04/2025 16:34

Not particularly. I can't say I take that close notice of where all my friends go on holiday to know whether it's somewhere new or not.
