    cass city @Heavenly Grandpa Follow two weeks ago a friend was telling me about how they were sad because they hosted a cookout and invited "all their friends" but no one came and i just had to sit there and smile and nod as they sadly told me about this cookout that, incidentally, they did not invite me to

    CHAOMI CAMPBELL @chaomicampbell Replying to @HeavenlyGrandpa Follow I've had a few friends like this and ultimately this happens because they over invest in people who don't really care because they want to prove themselves. At the same time they're complacent about people who do care and don't anticipate being dropped by them too

    La Reina ... @LaReinaLatinaxo Replying to @HeavenlyGrandpa Follow Ah, the classic 'all their friends' paradox: somehow you're close enough to hear about the cookout that never was, but not close enough to get that invite. Life works in mysterious (and slightly awkward) ways.

    Anna Clare @annaosinski . 1d Replying to @Heavenly Grandpa Oof. Let me guess, the friend is married and you're single. Or reverse it. I am the single friend smiling and nodding at the married friends' tales about couples get-togethers so often it's staggering.

    Emilia. @Emilia Marc10 21h Replying to @Heavenly Grandpa Solidarity I swear so many people are walking studies in cognitive dissonance; I recently read a psychology article that stated only about 30-40% of humans have actual self awareness and even less an internal dialogue. This "friend" of yours sounds like a mental muzak type.

    Charlotte (Lottie) Gold-... @GeoLottie Replying to @HeavenlyGrandpa Follow Ouch!! I had similar in the summer about an annual event they hold (which we've never been invited to) that was cancelled & it was awful! I should have got a medal for the neutral expression I managed when listening to them telling me all about it!

    Nancy @stardust_nancy - 18h Replying to @Heavenly Grandpa You're better than me because I would have been like 'oh what a shame, if only I was invited'

    Hollywood Drama Queen @hol....18h : Replying to @Heavenly Grandpa In secondary I invited all my friends to my house and everyone except for one cancelled at the last minute. The one who came to my house spent the whole day telling me and crying about how she didn't have friends in our school and none wanted to hangout with her.

    @itsmaroon_____. 19h Lol people want to use you for emotional labour when the people they chose over you reject them. It's your que to keep them at an arms length.

    Charlie @blackfootcharli 19h • Been there before. It's wild how comfortable people are when they feel their needs are most important. People really do have therapist friends and only see you as a resource not a person.
