When you are not invited to a neighbor’s party

Last weekend, a friend sent me a whatsapp message how she was feeling dejected and low. I asked her why. She said that her neighbor asked all the other neighbors to a party and left her out. She did not know what wrong she had done to this neighbor. She thought they had a cordial relationship. How could she raise her head up in the neighborhood again knowing they had all had a good time together and she was the one left out. Why are people so unfriendly?

Our neighbors are a bit like that. I have seen exclusions of neighbors (and it has happened to us), but I quickly learned that is the way it on this street. My next door neighbor used to invite me to her "women's" party . . . and I only went once. Her friends were too drunk and not my kind of company, so the next 2 years she had this party, I politely declined. Now she does not invite me at all, nor does she bring us any more of her baked goods or even talk unless we happen to see each other . . . but I'm ok with that.

@mydanods True. I do feel bad for your friend. It was not nice of that neighbor to exclude her - especially when she would find out from other neighbors about the party.

@much2say It was disheartening.

No hard feelings on your part then. I am sure that if she had deliberately kept you out of her parties and not you declining voluntarily, you would have felt hurt.

Ouch, it's kinda hurt her feelings so much. Maybe something happened to them that she is not aware of, anyway if she did not invited in that party I think you friend will be fine because she has a friend like you to comfort her.

It can hurt really bad when someone you see day in and day out could treat you in that way.

That's the truth. It's not good to have such a thing happen to you. It can cause you to ask yourself lots of questions about yourself.

Maybe something happened and that neighbour had to not invite her. Or maybe he was just an a**hole. People are bad sometimes, but this world is full of good things, don’t forget that!

Both the good and the bad. I wish I would attract only the good. That is my prayer everyday. Some of the bad can be annoying, some can be downright scary.
