Is it normal to never be invited out by friends?

6 Comments

So there are several people that I consider friends, and they say I'm there friend as well. Whenever I invite them to join me for something - lunch, a movie, just hangout somewhere - they always have an excuse. And at the same time, I am never - and I mean NEVER - invited out by them. The only time I'm invited out is because they are obligated to after I've done something for them, and they noticed. The "obligatory invite", I call it.

There are so many famous phrases that say, do something for others, and it'll make you feel good." Well, I'm tired of doing things for others, because it know they will never do anything for me.

Is this just society today?

I suppose I'm not a like able person.

    Doing good for others only feels nice when you don't have expectations of getting something in return.

    It's not society. It's not even your friends; they are allowed to choose who they hang out with, just like everybody is allowed to choose this. It's also not about your likeability as a person.

    What it IS about, is your choice of friends. Instead of picking out a few people you want as friends and expecting them to accept you based on your acceptance of them: Find people who DO want to hang out with you and call those people your friends.

    I'd say you pretty much answered your own question with, "I suppose I'm not a like able(sic) person.". It is certainly something you could change if you wanted to, so I guess the ball is in your court.

    Normal. Just find friends who like partying.

    Honestly, those people aren't your friends. You should probably try distancing yourself slowly for your own benefit. You'll meet new people and make new friends, people come and go through life.

    A great lesson to learn in life is recognizing people from the truly good people (the ones you want to be friends with) and the users. Eventually you'll be able to do it. You can still spend time with users if you want (not recommended) you just have to see them for who they are. You'll be thankful for the lesson in the end. And don't hold it against them either if you can, most people don't even, if ever, realize their true nature.
