Not invited to party

[Anon53]

I started off my school day with global history. A girl who is a genuinely good friend with one of my guy friends, and who is one of my friends as well walks into class and asks me if I'm going to or if I was invited to a party that guy friend of ours is having on Sunday. I'm guessing it's a Super Bowl party. I said no, and neither was she. It wasn't something that we frowned over the whole class, but later the grief really hit me. This guy friend has always been a good friend of mine. We used to hang out more outside of school, but recently I haven't found myself getting together with friends outside of school that often. I'm not sure if it's because of some family issues or what. Anyways, my friend and I are pretty good friends in school, and nothing has interrupted that friendship lately –– no fights, nothing… everything was smooth sailing. We have a couple of classes together and lunch together everyday, so I'd say we keep in touch quite a bit. I've noticed that he had been hanging with another group of friends at someone else's house recently, as I saw on someone else's Snapchat story. I'm not jealous that he's hanging with other people, but I don't understand why he wouldn't think of inviting me to this party. This past Halloween some of the same people in that Snapchat story were at that party that holiday night, in which I was invited to. Also in another Snapchat story, I saw that on New Years Eve there was a party that I wasn't invited to, who the person hosting was another friend of mine; that other friend of mine was there too. Me believing that he is having a Super Bowl Party, I think, is accurate, but not 100% sure. I know that he knows I'm not an extreme football fanatic, but I would think he would have the consideration to invite me. I'm hoping he'll invite me in the coming days.

Can I just have advice to feel better? It feels like depression, but I know it's not –– it's only one of those deep slumbers of sadness.

I don't know if I should "force it" to have the topic of Super Bowl parties, or plans for that night be brought, up although it is quite instinctual to do so.

And help, comments, advice…

Thanks:)

I think he's making new friends. I'm sorry but, based off of high school experience, I know that many people leave old friends and make new ones. I think you should allow him to have other friends as well and not stress over it yet.

As far as the New Years thing, that sucks. I'm sorry that you weren't invited. Sometimes friends will not invite you. High school kids can be rotten.

It's not that he's making new friends, and in fact I'm friends with some of those other guys as well. I just don't think that they think of including me, but not necessarily purposely excluding me.

And this friend is definitely not rotten. We've been friends for years, and we still treat each other like good friends, just I don't see clearly about the non-invitation.
