Am I being too sensitive? Friend not inviting me.

[wantsomethingthatiwant]

I asked friend if she wanted to go to an event in June as the tickets were for sale and she said she’s already going with her group of friends.

Now I don’t expect an invite at all to them initially deciding to go. But other way around if I was already going and she asked I’d have said I’m going but get a ticket to come with us. I know most of the group and I like them.

She then said she didn’t buy the tickets so wouldn’t invite me. It’s an open live music day thing and your ticket is just entry - so not seated.

Just feel a bit sad about it.

Because it’s the right thing to do

OP your reaction to this does give an insight to the fact you get offended easily,

This poster is saying essentially not to just rely on this one friend and use this as an opportunity to expand your circle as this friend is not going to be around all the time.

Is it the use of the word possessive? You might think that is grossly unfair and it might be the furthest thing from the truth in real life but posters can only respond to what you have posted on here.

I don't think wondering when you were not invited is that weird but I do think it's odd you're still being white defensive despite several
PPs explaining why the others might not want you there.

You still haven't answered about if you have other friends you could invite...

I'm assuming not

Because the obvious solution is "OK. No worries. I'll ask Jenny, Alice and Freida if they're free. Maybe we can meet up for a bit?"

I'm also bemused that people think it's LESS rude to meet up and then go "OK, bye, we're going out for dinner now without you." I'd be super uncomfortable with that, it definitely makes you feel excluded and not wanted. Unlike this situation where someone is just trying to do something with other friends.
