Maybe people don't like the fact that I come straight to the point about 'stuff'.Anyway... I am moving on from all this. If I am odd... well, it makes me an original doesn't it?? My Man loves me, as do my boys and my real friends... so I think I need to think less and live more.

I feel bad sometimes not inviting certain people, but then if I invite them, I have to invite so and so and it goes on.<br /><br />That said, not getting invited is a bit like being the kid not invited to the birthday party. It can make you feel like crap. Don't dwell on it. I don't think anyone is actually saying to themselves"hmmn....I am not inviting Sarah" more likely they just didn't think. Likely busy and distracted, and if you are shy, maybe your quiet demeanor didn't make you come to mind right away.<br /><br />Sometimes after an event, I say "I don't know why I didn't think of it, but I should have invited so and so.<br /><br />So what I am trying to say, is don't feel bad even though it's a stinger.Razmatazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757164543598076420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-41237862976258247362010-07-23T17:54:07.206+01:002010-07-23T17:54:07.206+01:00Haha - you probably mean rude & direct!

I have had a few friends that were extremely shy and before I really got to know them they came across as stuck-up. If you really care maybe you should let your inner child out for them to see once in a while.Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995976784483093896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-73036335114817806072010-07-23T12:58:26.877+01:002010-07-23T12:58:26.877+01:00You are soooo right.

At some point we're all going to be pushing up daisies, so who cares what the daisy next to you may or may not have once thought?<br /><br />I gather this way of thinking is quite unusual however! Maybe you're often not invited as people think you might not want to come. Sometimes shyness is seen as self-centredness & they may think that you wouldn't enjoy yourself or don't like being around them.<br /><br />In my experience, it's usually never about you & people are far too busy thinking about themselves to be thinking about you... you're not THAT special! <br /><br />Also perhaps look at WHY you would want people to like you - as long as the people who care about you (& most importantly, you) think you're ok then who gives a toss what a stranger might think? You probably don't sit around thinking about their personalities, so it's unlikely they're doing the same about you. <br /><br />When I ran a pub, the landlord from the next pun told me that he worried people were talking about him all the time & didn't like him. I said that once he left the bar I barely gave him a second thought & that he should get over himself! He's never thought of it that way before. xUrban Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07968949122197550072noreply@blogger.com
