Being left out.

This weekend my neighbours are having a party. Everyone was invited apart from me. It was just assumed I wouldn’t want to go.

Attending things with other people can be so difficult that I don’t actually know if it’s just better to not be invited sometimes. I don’t think I’m able to make a fair decision about whether I would or wouldn’t want to go to these kinds of events. Simply because of how awkward it would be for me to attend. It’s not a fair decision if it’s bias.

I just wish I’d be able to do things with those around me without it being an issue. Without the idea that maybe it’s better that I wasn’t invited, maybe being right.

One thought on “Being left out.

  1. I know that feeling. It’s nice to be asked, but you don’t want to seem rude if you don’t want to or can’t go by saying no. It’s definitely a bit of an issue for us disabled folks. When saying no,I always follow up with, but please don’t be afraid to ask again because I would like to socialize, and I don’t have many invitations because of my wheelchair. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, but at least you’re trying.
