Today, I was excited because a friend had added me to a new Facebook chat consisting of my tight circle of friends from last year's summer camp. I then saw when the chat had been created. They kept me out of the chat for almost an entire year before deciding to add me. FML

Hey, this is OP. The camp is in Washington, and it looked like all the people in the chat were the campers from Washington, so my guess is that they created the chat just for the Washingtonians and started to add in people as camp time drew closer. The reason why it hurts a little is that I've had a pretty rough year with depression- I switched schools and ended up having no friends for about half the year- and it would have been nice to be able to talk with them and get some support, even though they lived so far away. I haven't said anything about it and I won't, there's no point in making a big deal out of something so little. To #13- I did the same thing many a time in order to make myself feel better about being the youngest and not being able to do the things my older siblings did. #22- Lol, okay, whatever you say. You seem a lot more invested in this than I am. #44- Yes, we have summer camps in Alaska, though I was referring to one in Washington. Contrary to popular belief, there exists four seasons in Alaska, not just winter.

At least you didn't get left out of a family chat...2 years it took them to remember they have a sister...

Aww, man. Sometimes people can be really cruel. Keep you head up.

It's Facebook. Don't take it to heart. Maybe they didn't think to add you right away. Or maybe you're one of those dramatic people who take everything ever said on Facebook seriously and that's why they were hesitant to add you?

Hope you didn't miss much...but now you can have a few more fans with some old friends

It sounds like this, OP: you think you're cool with someone and involved in their circle of friends, when really they don't even think about you once unless it's where you met them (summer camp, work, theater class, whatever) They could be making plans to have a friends' night out or go to the movies or something and you're sitting 3 ft away. It's inconsiderate to an extent, but in my opinion I feel like it's social awkwardness on my part when it happens. It's good that they decided to add you though, maybe it's a good sign of them inviting you to stuff, too.

That's alright same thing happened to me.

I understand, OP. Ever since my brother joined my circle of friends, I have to ask him to be invited to Skype calls. Most of the time, they let me in and then kick me for the littlest thing.

The circle isn't quite as tight as you thought eh?
