Coming across as desperate or assertive?

This is a discussion prompter and not personal thread. I've read a few threads recently where posts query to ghost or not to ghost or feel left out when not invited. My point is when should one confront or let it go? So, you've not been invited out on a girls' night out with your friends. Do you ask them why they did not invite you or do you let it go and fume inwardly? Or, a friend is driving you mad with her constant self absorption? Do you tell her how you feel about meeting up with her or just ghost her? Does one come across as desperate when you confront behaviour or do you feel it is right to confront other people's behaviour? Just interested.

I would do neither

If I didn't get invited I would assume they were no longer friends with me and it had naturally fizzled out and I'd feel hurt but wouldn't confront.

If a friend was self absorbed I wouldn't invite her out so the reverse of above and let it naturally fizzle out.

If either friend dried to get in touch I politely fob off or leave on read for a few days etc
