Sorry for the slow response. I've been more depressed lately, so I'm taking longer to do everything these days. Anyways, you're right about what you said. I'm sure they'd B.S me and make it sound like I'm being "unreasonable' and expecting to much from them. I deserve to be treated with respect. I think that their indirect no is annoying.

One of them DID respond back to my second invite finally. We did meet up and she did claim that the last place I suggested didn't interest her, but then why didn't she say that before? Weird!

It doesn't seem like I matter that much to them even though we have a special name for our group, I do not really feel like I'm part of the group usually. I never said that though. Sometimes I suspect I'm just being tolerated.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I would've talked to her about things. I still didn't say anything to my friends. I'm afraid that if I 'complain' that they'll never want to talk to me again. Ugh!
