I planned an night out for my friends and I…. and no one turned up
So I have been working at the same place for 2 years now and I had gotten close with a few of the people I work with. I considered them good friends and we had gone out before but this time I planned the night.
I had set the date a month in advance to give people plenty of notice. At the start everyone seemed to be excited about it when we talked about it but I asked some of the people attending 5 days before the date of the night out if they were still coming and they didn’t give a straight answer.
I didn’t think much of it and hoped it would work out. I told them we would meet in town for around 7:30/8pm and everyone seemed fine with this.
Cut to the day of the night out and one of the girls puts in the group chat “so who’s coming tonight” no one answers. The message was put in the chat at 9am. I didn’t think much of it as the chat is usually quiet.
I get read that night and take the bus down to the venue. At 7:20, one of the girls say they’re gonna have to miss it but maybe next time. Thanks for giving me 10 mins notice when you had a month to let me know.
I wait in the square hoping to see some of my friends and no one turns up. I’m heart broken and I’m dreading tomorrow as I don’t know if I have any friends at work.
I’m not much of a social person so I only have one close friend but even then I’m not thought of her “best friend” I’m just an after thought. A person people see every day at work and think nothing of me. I don’t know what to do.
Part of me wants to confront them about this and tell them how it’s made me feel but I think it would only make the situation worse.
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read my post.
