I met this group of women and men through my music scene just this last year.

Well, a a whole gang of these women got together yesterday, and I wasn't included or invited.

My husband saw the pics on Facebook, and commented that I wasn't invited.

I don't really care that much and it doesn't bother ME, but it seemed to bother him enough to comment on it. He is one who wants to and needs to be part of the "crowd".

But now I am upset and wonder why wasn't I invited? Do they not like me?

And it brought me right back to high school, where I felt excluded from the "cool" and the "in" crowd.

Now I feel awful. Had he not said anything, I would not have thought twice about it.

I've never had a large group of friends. I have loads of friends, but very scattered and from different groups. I've never been part of a "group".

It just brought back old adolescent feelings and I feel ashamed for even feeling that way.

Wish he had never even said anything! Then I felt I had to defend myself and explain how I feel.

And the bottom line is: I don't know these women that well... I haven't hung out with them that much, and I see them infrequently..... so why would I be invited?

Now I'm just bummed out and feel like I'm 16 all over again.

To top it off, I've had a LOT of trouble getting together with many of my own friends over the last year, and it makes me very sad.
