Is it normal to hardly get invited to events and parties?

I'm in high school and I have friends but i never really get invited to any party/event. Now in middle school I was really shy and awkward and always said no when invited. Do you think that no one will invite me to things because I have a history of saying no? Does any one else experienced this and what can I do about it?

    Why not ask them they would know better than us.

    That's possible, but rather than looking for a cause why don't you find a solution: I'd suggest giving a party yourself and make sure it's a good one

    Obviously there could be multiple reasons for this. I got invited to a lot of parties in high school, but now that I'm in college, I almost never get invited to anything outside hanging out with my group of very close friends.

    Honestly the way I'd go about fixing this is to either 1) as people have said, throw your own party or 2) ask around! talk to your friends and acquaintances, ask if they know of any parties happening soon, and if it'd be okay for you to go. this is what I do when I feel inclined to go to a party, and most of the time the result is: bam, I'm going to a party.

    nobody can read your mind. it's very unlikely that you are not being invited intentionally. it's much more likely the kind of thing where you go to one party, get your foot in the door, and after that you start to become someone that people will think of when they're looking for people to invite.

    tl;dr
    people aren't mind readers, a lot of problems can be solved by just being straight up about things.

    People get bored of asking people who say no.

    If you really want to go just ask someone.
