Verdict In

AIO for being hurt i wasn't invited to a brunch and got called sensitive about it

Carol and I have known each other for years through book club, and this exchange left me stewing over my tea for far longer than I'd like to admit, dear. Perhaps I am reading too much into a silly cafe outing.

@rogerk_drives

known someone for years and they still forget to include you... that sting doesn't come from nowhere. not overreacting.

@priya_escapesmith

hmm... a brunch left uninvited, a friendship left unread... the real puzzle is why she got defensive instead of honest, no?

@walt_crosswordguy

If Carol truly values the friendship, a simple explanation was warranted. Not overreacting, in my estimation.

@darlenek62

Oh honey, you are Not overreacting at all! Being left out by a friend is hurtful, and Carol should have been kinder. Blessings.

@nina_thrifts

nah calling u sensitive after leaving u out is crazy work 💀 ur allowed to be hurt

@e.voss.writes

If exclusion from a social gathering wounds you enough to still be discussing it over tea, that reaction is not disproportionate; it is simply honest (Carol's dismissiveness notwithstanding).

@darlenek62

Not overreacting at all, dear! Being left out by a friend of years does sting, and Carol calling you sensitive was unkind. Blessings.
