I have a group of friends who are always forgetting me or leaving me out of get-togethers. I finally had enough and 'confronted' them about it last week. Basically saying, "If you can always reach out to me for favors, you can reach out to me to include me."
So…. today I get a text at 12:30pm from 'Jane' that 'Sarah' is throwing a Valentine's dinner at 5pm. She then copied/pasted the originial invite from Sarah and sent it to me. This isn't just a simple pizza party either, Sarah is literally making a pot roast, cake, deviled eggs, etc. etc. She goes all-out when hosting dinners. This clearly wasn't planned at noon today.
I truly don't want to go, as this once again feels like a last-minute effort to include me.
I'm honestly tired of always being forgotten (I'm the single friend and the youngest), but we all live in the same neighborhood, so I can't be burning too many bridges down with dynamite.
Best to just tell Jane I'm not going? At this point, I don't even want to respond.
I mean, she isn't the host.. so why would I need to RSVP?
