Feeling more and more pissed off as the days go on listening to people's BBQs and music.
Love the collective festivities, but jealous!
I tried to arrange a street party but the street is a road with other roads shooting off which are cliquey and so smaller groups of neighbours are doing there own thing. I've arranged my own gathering which I was looking forward to but now getting more and more annoyed that we haven't been invited anywhere or to join anyone with their activities.
I'm upset, we supposedly have lots of friends, so where are they all? Why is the only event we will be part of this weekend one I am arranging? If I hadn't arranged this we'd have still probably ended up hosting a small family bbq with no other event to attend.
It's always us. We're always the hosts bar one other family we are friends with who will do stuff they invite us to.
I wish I had a strong circle of friends that I can rely on for this sort of thing, that at least take it in turns. I feel like people are only truly friends until they have a partner and then they make their world smaller and its all about their new partner and there partners extended family. I don't even feel like I have a proper best friend these days, you know an easy friend who you are super comfortable with and don't need to entertain each other but enjoy each others company.
Needed a rant. I'm in a right funk today. Thanks!
