These are all just speculations. So, perhaps you just aren't supposed to be at this event?

Thank you! It's very unlikely they forgot to invite us. But it is definitely possible - even likely - that they meant no ill will. Even in my current state, where my depression has me feeling somewhat paranoid, it's very hard for me to seriously believe they have suddenly decided they no longer like us.

But it did/does hurt. And it was unusual. Even though I'm not 12 anymore and these things really shouldn't effect me to this degree. But with this disorder, there is this constant, giant gulf between my intellect and reason and my emotional response. And my emotions always get the better of me. Thank you again for your feedback
