A group of 3 friends of mine all met up for a pre-Christmas meal a couple of weeks ago. We are all ex-colleagues (met as we worked together in an office years ago) and the group consists of my best friend (A), a close friend of mine (B) and a more distant friend of mine (C). They obviously all have their own relationships with each other too.
To give some more context, me and A are extremely close and have been for years - we spend lots of time together, stay over at each other’s houses for the weekend at least once a month, have holidayed multiple times together, spend Christmas with each other’s families, etc. I am obviously also friends with B and C, but am nowhere near as close with them.
Anyway, I wasn’t invited to the meal - my best friend (A) mentioned it in passing when I spoke to her a couple of days later, referring to it as an “impromptu dinner”, but I later heard from one of the others (C) that it had actually been planned via a WhatsApp group chat 3 days before.
The group chat was set-up by A, and B and C were added to it but I wasn’t. A date and location for dinner was being discussed when C sent a message saying, “Is Greyhound not around?” This message was ignored by A and B and because she is not as close to me as they are she just left it as she assumed they already knew that I was busy or couldn’t make it.
Am I being too sensitive by being upset by this?
I have always invited A to literally everything too (including with my other friend groups) which makes it hurt even more.
