I agree. That really stinks. I'd feel the same way you do because even if they aren't your favorite people, it still hurts to be obviously excluded. They obviously have no manners.

There's nothing worse than feeling lonely in a group. Would it be unusual for you to go out to lunch with a work group on a normal day? If you're someone that normally runs errands or eats in, you may just be off their "work lunch" radar.
Some people just never learned good manners I guess. Or never developed a sensitivity for those around them. Even if I really didn't like someone, I wouldn't make them feel left out, like the people mentioned here have.
I think that this hurts us because we care about other people and just want to be part of stuff. That has never happened to me at work or socially, but it happens all the time in my immediate family. Not only was I not invited to my spouse's retirement party, when a clueless person asked if I was going, my husband chimed in with a huge 'of course!', then later gave me the wrong address (smack in the middle of nowhere) so that he could be sure that I would not be there. I tried to not take it too personally because it is only the millionth time that it happened, but it did sting a bit.
1. Identify what’s most important to you. 2. Minimize or eliminate everything else.
Excellent point, reader99. I guess we hope that we've outgrown all of those hurtful times, but the heart is tender at every age.Originally Posted by reader99
Your own husband gave you the wrong address for his retirement party? I'm not sure there are words to describe how that would make me feel.

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
It was pretty crappy, so crap is a good word, although I had forgotten about it until I read this thread. I would love to say that you get used to this sort of thing, but you really do not. I just try to not let it bother me too much.

Yeah.

If it was me, I would be telling that story about my ex husband. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with him?
