left out eeyore0512: I am having one hell of a down day. My friends all wanted to go Milwaukee Zoo with their kids on Saturday. They asked me to come along if I wanted, so I said yes. I love all their kids, and thought I'd enjoy it. (Out of all my friends, I'm the only one who is now single, and who has no children) Well they called the day before and said they couldn't go, etc etc. Well I found out today that they all went and had a wonderful time. I can't help but feel left out and disappointed...well more than disappointed, I'm hurt. I never really get to go out because they all have to stay home with their families, and I"m too shy to go out alone. It hurts so much to realize that my friends couldn't even tell me the truth that they didn't want me to tag along.
Do any of you have the same experiences? Where you are left out because you are now divorced? How do you deal? I've spent this whole Friday night alone, bored, and unbelievably lonely.
Re: left out NO DATE: I'll tell you what I would do eh' eh' eh' I'd dump those jerks so fast it would make your head spin! how dare they they lie like that wtf is that? callous? cold hearted.? are a couple of many terms that crossed my mind when reading this, get rid of em' time for new friends! sorry... I hear all of the time oh ken come on it's no big deal.. ahh BS to all of that! this was insulting to the power of 10 in my book.
Re: left out trapped: Why would so called "friends" be so cruel? Eyeore I am so sorry! Of course you feel hurt love...that was incredibly unkind.
I've got some a$$hole friends but that's just unbelievably heartless and cold.
Poor you OOOObig hugsOOOO.
Re: left out fmtw2k: Not only did a group of my friends dump me once I told them what was going on, they also started telling everyone who has ever known me (and a few that don't know me!) that I was having an affair. Yes, it hurts! If I were you, I'd move on. People like that aren't worth trying to call or convince them to be your friend. And as for being shy, I am, too, but I am forcing myself just to go out and not let it bother me. Start off with something small like dinner. After awhile it isn't so bad. :)
Re: left out Chey: Eeeyore, that really does suck. BIG time. Real friends don't do that kind of thing. No matter how shy you are, or how difficult it is for you to make friends, you don't need to keep bad one's in your life.
My own personal suggestion is to act the grown up in this situation (since they're not), and confront this situation.
Call them, tell them you're hurt. But ask them for their honest feedback. Is there really a reason that they dumped you at the last minute. Is there something you should know about.....this could potentially be a learning experience for you and them. This is not the way to treat a friend. So either there's something about you that they're having issues with, or they're just jerks. Either way don't let it fester.
Step up to the plate, and be the adult these twits are obviously not prepared to be.
