If they said "we're all. . ." and you are part of the group, you were supposed to say, "Great! What time?" or, "Awwww, I can't come, I've got maths to study for for a quiz on Tuesday" or something. If you "think" you are part of a group (or even just wish you were part of a group) you have to "act" like a group member and respond as if you ARE part of that group.

See, this is why I needed to post this! That never would have occurred to me. For whatever reason, I rarely feel like I'm included unless someone actually says I am. Possibly, my not feeling included leads other people to believe I don't want to be included, actually.

So, thanks for your help! I'm feeling better today.
