To be miffed over lack of invite?

A woman that I considered to be a good friend is celebrating a landmark birthday next month. I saw her post something on social media about planning her party.

I have messaged her a couple of times recently and she hasn't responded. She's also stopped interacting with me on social media. We haven't had any kind of conflict or falling out.

I find her to be a bit of a social climber and quite OTT with trying to befriend people at times. She added a lot of my friends on social media and is interacting with them a lot. I work in the arts so a lot of my friends are performers.

I met my best friend for coffee last week and he asked me something about the party. I said I don't know the details and he told me she sent him a message inviting him and his partner along. They've never actually met. She added him on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook about six months ago and has privately messaged him inviting him to her birthday party and not asked me.

This feels very high school but AIBU to feel annoyed at being left out?

I would message her and say a few of your friends messaged you as they where uncomfortable that you invited them to her birthday party without knowing them. I would let her know it’s creepy and reflecting Badley on yourself with your circle of friends

The woman is not a friend. She's a manipulative, opportunist user.

I have a picture in my mind of your friend...Amanda - Motherland!

@DrinkFeckArseBrick

Is your BF considering going?
He accepted her invitation but it was because he assumed I would be going. He's now unsure as he does like what he knows of her through the internet but thinks this is all a bit odd.
