Can any of you relate? I don't like social situations and I have been invited to the wedding of two work acquaintances. I have fun with them at work, but the relationship ends there. I don't see them outside of the job and don't really want to. I am an introvert, but that isn't the whole reason. The timing is off. I don't have the time or the money at the moment to shop for a gift. I feel a little guilty but not enough to be roped into going. Am I making sense to anyone? I was told I was cold by another co worker but my very closest friend at work was asked to be the best man, and refused. He is worse than I am about these things. How many of you think we are terrible.....

If you don't have the money; that's a legitimate reason.
But you need to come up with a 'polite' reason as to why you're not going, in order to maintain the working relationship or at least make it positive. |

I can relate. I don’t know why it’s considered cold to not want to go to the wedding of someone you aren’t good friends with.
It’s weird to me that work acquaintances who’ve never hung out outside of work would invite you to their wedding anyway, much less expect you to come. If I chipped in for every workplace baby shower and wedding etc etc I’d be poor. Maybe get a nice card and say you have a prior engagement. Just make sure you aren’t seen out and about that day. |

I don't think you are weird at all. I am very extroverted, I still don't want to go to every event I'm invited to. I decline invitations with out an excuse. Unless we are close friends, I don't feel I owe an explanation. Likewise when I extend invitations, I don't feel anyone owes me an explanation. It's fine to just not want to come.
