I will go about 95% of the time to anything I am invited to. I'm not an introvert who turns down invites. My failing is not planning and inviting people myself.
I've often used to feel I was in the "fallback" role, or I called it "the last resort". There's no one else? Well, OrangeAppled will show if we invite her. I know I can be very quiet in social events, so maybe people just didn't see me as "fun" or I was easily forgettable (ouch....).
I don't experience this as much anymore (rarely, if ever), but as a teen it was painfully apparent.
I'm the same. When I was a child, I would turn down invitations about 50 percent of the time. Suddenly, when I was about 12 years old, I developed the belief that I was missing out on life and alienating myself from others, and promised myself that I would never decline invitations from others again.
since then it's ridiculous how reliable I am as 'someone to drag somewhere.' I will always say yes, even if I desperately don't want to, because I'm so afraid of letting people down. Unfortunately, this hasn't worked in my favor, because I'm invited to things other people say no to because they're ridiculous or dangerous or boring, and things everyone is invited to I'm conveniently left out of.
stop taking advantage of NF's people!! :steam:
