It's a saturday night supper at her house, which is the kind of thing I love, and the kind of event I do, and would never not invite her. I'm much less interested in lunches, not least because I work.
The problem is, I think I fall between two groups. I'm half in the school group (who in a sense I introduced her to, in that she's a friend of mine and she's got to know them better thrpough me) but I'm not totally in that and I'm not quite in her 'good friends' group. However to complicate matters I know her through the 'gf' group. Two of them are indeed good friends of mine but seperately. It's probably fair she's not used to mixing us. I'd just... really liek to see these people and I feel like I'm missing out.
full on FOMO/social exclusion sensation.
I guess that's the problem with people who like segregating their groups of friends, people like me who aren't quite one or the other, fall by the wayside a bit.
It just feels so pointed, particularly as she's always telling me how important I am to her, that I get the B-list invite. It's probably not meant to be mean at all but that's how I feel. Why the fuck does she tell me all the time how great I am if she doesn't want me in her house?
I have 25 minutes before I have to leave for this stupid lunch with the stupid expensive necklace.
Grrah! How do i play it so I don't throw myself an embarrassing public pity party???
Stiffen me up please lovely MNers.
