((((((((((((((((Googley)))))))))))))))) So many people here care about you. I know what it is to be "used" by others for a car ride. I hope you don't let others drive! That, however, does not mean that they don't like you. Do you have phone contact with any of these friends? If so, why not call them just to chat and bring up the event in question in the course of conversation ("I heard you were going to . . . That's great, Man!"). Maybe this will help your perspective in discerning whether you were intentionally left out. Maybe you could find out who all is going. Maybe several of the group were "left out" because only a smaller group got together on the plans. Remember that depression can cause a type of negative paranoia about others not liking us. I have it, too. However, in agreement with the above, I plead with you not to isolate yourself because of these feelings. There really ARE some nice people in the world who refuse to use others. And remember that people LIKE us, not for who we are or what we have, but for the way we make them feel about themselves. Caring About You, billieJ
