Catch 22
Today I expressed my frustration with some friends about how I feel like either I always have to invite people to do anything with them, or I only really get invited if they see me physically in person, or if the invitation is strictly to the same group that that person knows (so, I would not get invited by a given person if there were people that I did not know). In the latter case, it makes me wonder if I would have ever heard about it had the physical encounter not happened.
But then, complaining about it makes people not want to send the invitation in the first place. I want to get invited more, but I don’t want to bring it up, but then not bringing it up doesn’t change the circumstances.
I realize by posting this I am committing the same act, and probably sound like I am complaining (I am frustrated, certainly).
I don’t like Catch 22s.
I also know it’s not *never*, it’s just rare. Or it might seem like they invited me, but in reality I prompted it.
How flipping annoying. Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeargh.
