General

I don't care, I'm a loner anyway.

@partyanimal: Full of sugary goodness Uhh there's not much to say other then they were small packages filled with candy, a bible verse and love. It was something I made to encourage some friends to keep pressing on through their exams and remind them to keep God at the centre of their focus like some people had done for me when I was going through my HSC (final exams for high school in Australia).

I doubt A and B are friends.

A doesn't B's birthday.
B doesn't invite A to the party.

So I guess, if I was a, I'll take a reality check and evaluate our friendship.

I would feel a bit hurt. I usually move on from that, unless their reason is unreasonable.

I will just ignore. It would hurt my feelings but there must have been a reason for not inviting.

tell me more about these encouraging survival kits

There's some wisdom there from the guy/girl above.

Maybe everyone who thought they were an A was actually like a Z in terms of genuine friendship. But it does seem fishy...

If I was the person not invited I would doubt our friendship but try and get over it (it's not as easy as people say it is). If they post pictures on fb then I try not to look through them otherwise I get even sadder because I missed out. Really hurt ><

If I was someone who was invited and knew A wasn't I would ask why and possibly make the host really uncomfortable .___.

Even though exclusion isn't a nice thing, sometimes it's necessary. Like when I want to have an intimate gathering it's easier to cater for less and good for strengthening the bond between the small group of friends. But there are bigger events where you can invite a large group of friends. I do feel guilty though when I can't include everyone. Usually when I try to make encouraging survival kits (with lollies and a bible verse) I intend to make it for one person but end up making it for a larger number cos I feel bad if other people feel left out

The quality of a friendship is very important. A and B talk a lot but it doesn't necessarily mean that they are "friends". They might only have 1 similarity in common and that's what they would talk about. Friends do stuff together and in this case, they aren't exactly friend friends. I have a lot of "friends" that share a common hobby/interests with me, we have a lot to talk about when we run into each other unexpectedly, but we don't actually set up a lunch/dinner/coffee date. We are acquaintances (maybe?), we are people who simply acknowledge each other's existence but we make no effort into developing what we have into an actual friendship.

Conclusion: They are not really friend-friends.

I can't remember any of the parties I wasn't invited to, but I can remember the ones I was. Such is life, move on.

It's because she's a B.

I'd get my surrey gang to jump B

I'd ask B why I wasn't invited.

"IF I CANT GO TO THE PARTY...
NOBODY CAN!"

Happened to me a few times too, I just ask the host "hey where's A?" and the host gives me whatever reason. Besides, sometimes two people don't know each other as well as you think they do. Now if it were a massive public party, there's probably something wrong with that, but if it were a small get together, it's normal to exclude people you don't know too well.

I personally find exclusion pretty crappy though, it's a bit of a smack in the face regardless of the situation.

Really... <.<

@zoneflare2: I know my friends well enough that they're not going to go up to me,"OMGG Soooo Who was it that didn't get invited to that Bday partyy?"

i would ask the friend B why no invite me to da parteh y'all.

[quote=lukiie]It's not like B would talk shlart behind A's back in the dinner or anything. Or did she?[/quote]
I asked her at the dinner, casually asking her why isn't A here. She just dodges the question and acts like she's lost in her thoughts/phone vibrates/etc..

[quote=DrHye]Good thing you didn't use their first names. I was ready to track them down right down to their house address using the first name alone[/quote]
This totally contributes to the topic. I have some friends on here that go to my school, but aren't friends with the host, but they know the person that wasn't invited.
Me not using their name is a way so they won't bother her about it. Gotcha?

Good thing you didn't use their first names. I was ready to track them down right down to their house address using the first name alone

Omg poor A... Well, maybe it just seems like A and B are close. I mean B must have a reason for not inviting A, and I guess that's her choice to make, it is in fact her party

It's not like B would talk shlart behind A's back in the dinner or anything. Or did she?

Feel a bit awkward, then move on with my life like it didn't happen.

i ask the host if A can come..?
but its not really a big deal; they might not be "friends"

i'm crashin B's party.
but seriously, i don't think i'd care.

I would wonder why and ask B about it.

I'm a boy, I do boy stuff, none of this stuff
