That is a very valid point about getting caught up in the festivity, I didn't consider that and I really appreciate that perspective.
I know part of my sensitivity to feeling left out was due to my upbringing. I was the black sheep of the family and received very little attention. Of course when I did it was trouble
But feeling ostracized is a terrible. Even if you don't particularly want a hug from the person doling them out, getting passed over is awful. Thank you for understanding, and here is a hug
