and you missed out. Guess what? This isn't the last party/gathering on the face of the Earth. Sure fun things happened then, but on the bright side, they will happen again and again until you're sick of them. Having fun isn't limited to one particular event, it's subjective and you can apply it to every little thing in your life, and it’s important to realize that having your own fun is much more rewarding than getting anxious over others'.
2. When you are not invited:
i. Maybe this is a sign you should let these friends go
That group you were really close with last year, or even last week, repeatedly go out without telling you, splashing their pictures all over social media. You talked to them about it, but they didn't take it to heart and continued with their actions. I don't know how much clearer they can get, but this is a sign they're not very good friends to you and it may be time to let them go. This doesn't mean you should cut them off completely, but it’s very comforting to loosen the bonds and relieve yourself of the distress that comes with missing out. If you believe you can handle still being close to that person while being excluded from social outings, there’s no need to change a thing, but make sure you really are comfortable in your situation or else it will continue to plague your life with negativity.
ii. Take the initiative with plans
Rejection is one of the scariest things for anyone. Getting a "No." as a response haunts all of us, but sometimes you have to face that fear head-on. Whenever you feel like going out, ask the people you like hanging out with. It's easy and not as big a deal as we often make it out to be. This doesn't apply to "special friends” only, this applies to every friend you’re missing and want to reconnect with. So, don’t wait around for someone, and just go for it yourself!
