Today, I realized that the only times I get to hang out with my friends outside of school are when one of them accidentally mentions plans in front of me and they are obligated by social protocol to invite me. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my friends from high school have yearly meet-ups to catch up and talk about what they've done since school. They've done this for 3 years. I havent even been invited once. FML
Today, I found out that my "friends" only invite me to their parties when they need a designated driver. Apparently I'm "not fun" because I don't drink, which "ruins the party". FML
Today, I'm going to be the one dropping off two of my friends so they can go hang out. I'm not invited. FML
Today, one of my really close friends changed from being 'free' to 'quite busy' in the space of one conversation because I suggested that we hang out. FML
Today, I learned that my friend had parties all summer without me. I wasn't even invited once. Why ? Because I didn't send a message. My bad, I didn't know I could've have sent a message to attend parties I didn't know were happening. FML
Today, I found out that when my friends say they're too busy to hang out with me, what they really mean is that they're going to have an awesome pool party, and don't want me to come. The Instagram stories say it all. FML
Today, I was invited to a party. Since I rarely get invited to any, I was super pumped. Both my parents work late, so I texted a couple of people to see if I could catch a ride. It turned out everyone's cars were full. I ended up missing one of the only parties I've ever been invited to. FML
Today, I found out my co-workers don't actually like me when they changed the hangout spot after accidentally inviting me. FML
Today, and recently, many of my friends have been acting strangely. My birthday is coming up soon, so I thought maybe they were planning a surprise party. Nope. Turns out they've just been secretly hanging out without me. FML
Today, after being excited and trying to make plans with all my friends, they all turned out to be busy. After watching Netflix most of the night, I check my Snapchat stories only to see them all hanging out without me at one of their houses. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Baha lucky you op. my friends continue ti talk about their plans and don't even invite me at all...
alliewillie 22
Yep, every time I read these type FMLs I have to mentally add quotation marks to the word "friends". OP if they only hang out with you for social obligations theyre NOT your friends.

Actually he is excluded in some episodes. There was one where they couldn't decide on a movie/dinner so they ditched him in the apartment. There's another one where the gang eats food with Raj and Pria and Sheldon is left behind. Watch the show next time before making a comment.

Kaseyyeah, want some aloe for that burn?
PantyGAMES 10
You forgot about the episode where Leonard explains how the elevator broke. They took a journey back in time, where nobody liked Sheldon and the group ditched him.
BulldogHoops 14
It's not because Sheldon gets excluded, its because he says "social protocol" and such.
datoismyname 22
62,65,80, and 100- why don't you just give up already?
teddy4nyy 13
91 I forgot about that one. I'm so terribly sorry. Oh and 62, you're wrong.

There's like multiple burns in this thread..where is Kelso when you need him?

Actually, I think you'll find Leonard is the nucleus of the group, and it centres around him. If you'd seen the episode in which they flash back to when Leonard moved in with Sheldon, you would know this. They all go out and try to leave Sheldon behind. Even without seeing that episode, it's blatantly obvious that the others find Sheldon annoying and do try to not include him sometimes. Know what you're talking about before talking crap and arguing with people.

That comment was aimed at 80, sorry I forgot to add that!

#106 you are making it worse with every comment just shut up and move on
BulldogHoops 14
actually, he noted that it probably was the best option, but only after they bailed on him. Sheldon still thought he was coming, but they ditched him without his approval. I know this show, you don't, **** off.
BulldogHoops 14
and again, Kasey, that's not even why he made the joke about Sheldon. It was because he says "social protocol". I only proved you wrong about the episodr because I have a compulsive need to fix idiocy.
jbsington 8
Oh my god just shut up.
BulldogHoops 14
You just replied to my point and said that you had disproved all my points. You didn't disprove it. and did you read my other comment? Wow. I give up

Kaseyyeah: yeah but he's bat crap crazy so the plans pretty much have to revolve around him... For the good of others...

Anybody else get really annoyed when people reference other comments and they are no longer there?

Octain 13
I agree O_o" I think it's time to stop referring to them as "friends."
LOL1204 3
I'm sorry, but I hate when people say that. Just because something goes wrong you do not immediately give up on someone or assume something. You need to talk to them about it. You never know, maybe it was just a big misunderstanding. Or maybe you should socialize with that friend more. Maybe the friend doesn't feel as close to you as other friends. There are so many reasons they could be doing that.
LOL1204 3
Ok, sorry about the confusion in my last comment. It should say "or maybe that friend doesn't feel as close to you as other friends."
hotPinklipstick 24
Every group has that one person that nobody really likes but they still hang out with for some stupid reason. If you can't figure out who it is in your group, it's probably you.
igive 29
at least they invited him. no one should be forced to hang out with done they don't want to. but op does need new friends that actually like him.
AKGirlinSD 20
Why not ask to hang out with them instead of them just telling you about the plans, and thus are invited? Maybe they are so used to doing the planning that just expect you to accept the invite.
skoob1 12
It's me :(
CockAsian 14
I don't understand. How come 1 said the same thing as 3, but before, and yet 3 got 61 thumbs up and 1 only has 1?

Either you need some new friends, or you need to talk to them more and stop being the ninja that doesn't socialize
Omg_its_Chloe 6
It's not always that you don't socialise, sometimes you just don't get fully accepted. I have the same problem. I know how it feels, OP!
lonkite101 14
Or OP could secretly let out his/her plans, and be forced sociality to invite them : P
myalleyway 9
ninja is such an overused term now- OP, youre not an antisocial ninja; you have friends. i think you just need to find new ones, that purposefully invite you places.
nightowl713 25
It might just be me, but If I were aware of the fact I was only invited out of courtesy, I wouldn't show up at all. It probably only fuels the fire for them to, talk crap about you and intentionally not invite you in the future. I would stick to myself until I found real friends that enjoyed my company.

Seems like the perfect ninja to me.

That is so sad. You probably need to be a bit more outgoing & confident. I was like that. I joined clubs & took up basketball outside of school and met some really lovely people. Plus this gave me more confidence to be more outgoing at school. Good luck!!

This is a very helpful comment. One of the better ones in awhile. OP you should listen to this man/woman/boy/girl!

It could be worse...you could have no friends, then you wouldn't be invited to anything. So go make more friends!

8- I believe almost anyone in the world would rather not be invited to anything, than be invited only out of courtesy by people who don't enjoy his/her company.

Friends- pretending to be your friend one day at a time.
TheElderTROLLZ 15
How are they your friend if they are pretending to be your friend?

Jeez I think a lot different than most. Sorry to everyone who doesn't understand me.

Why is it always the witty people getting thumbed down?! The original comment was a good comment. What happened, you guys?
ManBroSkiGirl 10
I don't get it either. Just being my witty self (:
unknown_user5566 27
OP, I hope you realize those people aren't truly your friends. In my experience, it's better to be alone until you find people who actually care about you. The realization that no one wants you around always hurts more than a plan-free weekend. Good luck finding people worth your time!
WhyCantIDoRight 5
10, You're pretty ;)

Very true - it is better to be alone (preferably with cats)

It seems you haven't taken the hint. As bad as this sounds, they likely aren't your friends. Or you guys are just casual acquaintances. If they are making plans outside of school and not inviting you, then you are not as close as you feel you are. It is going to suck, but you need to talk to them about this. Tell them you feel left out and why do they feel the need not to invite you. You might not like the answer, but it could also be a good thing. They could inform you of behaviors that make them uncomfortable. Either way, it seems as if they do not want you around and as such you should stop forcing yourself into social situations with them. Look for new friends.
