Anyone else feel like people just invite you out of politeness or obligation, especially if you are invited by coworkers or other acquaintances who really never try to have conversations with you? I feel this way a lot. Whether it is acquaintances that don't really care to talk to me or get to know me or coworkers who just don't seem to care either, I feel like they just invite me because they feel like they have too.

With acquaintances in the past, it is probably because they knew they were making plans with a big group and felt like they shouldn't exclude me. For coworkers, basically the same deal. They never try to talk to me really, they always shun me but every so often I will get invited to an outing, which I only attended one of them last year and only stayed for an hour. I just feel like people who do that are only inviting me out of obligation or politeness and don't really want me there. Does anyone else feel this way? I feel like this is more common among coworkers than acquaintances too.
