To feel left out

[Flamencodancing]

I have not been invited to office drinks , which has happened several times. I don't think I would have gone but that is the same for others. Feel a bit meh that i was excluded. Would you feel bad or am I too sensitive?

Ah that's a bit crappy

Is it just you who's been excluded? Any chance it's not a invite only and anyone welcome? - probably clutching at straws

Since you say you wouldn’t have gone anyway, is it possible you don’t really engage enough with coworkers in the day and they know you don’t want to develop a friendship with them and that’s why they don’t invite you?
Have they invited you before?

It's a invite anyone else along kind of thing. BUT there is no way I could have been forgotten. Feels as if they are making a point.

Luxxlisbon, that is insightful.

I don't mind not going but am sensitive to being excluded. Not everyone invited goes.

Feel even more of an outsider

Have you been invited before and always say no?

Have you been invited before and never gone? If I invited someone repeatedly and they never came along, I'd stop inviting them

Perhaps you take control and include yourself. Simply ask someone you get along with the details and turn up so people understand you want to be included.
No use saying you feel excluded if you don’t actually want to be included.

It is a newish thing and I have never been invited.

If you're saying you wouldn't have gone anyway, do they know you are someone who doesn't go out?

If you don't think you'd of gone maybe they think you're not the type to enjoy going out?

Besides that if you wouldn't of gone there's nothing to really be upset by. If you wanted to go, just say "oh I heard your having drinks on xxxxx." And they'll most likely invite you.

There have been company changes and I feel I no longer fit in. I am older than them.
