She was once my best friend for 3 years in junior high . Then I moved and we didn’t stay in contact , my end or her end. I attended her graduation but she didn’t attend mine because I didn’t celebrate or invite anyone for my graduation since high school accomplishments is not a big thing in my culture .

We then met once in college and catch up with each other but we both knew we grew up into two different people and never contact each other again . Just remained friends on Facebook

She invited me and 100 other people via Facebook , it’s not personal like sending me a card .

I feel guilty because she was once my best friend and it’s not like I forgot her . We re just very different people now . I don’t hear from her on any of my bday nor does she hear from me. I don’t know why I’m feeling guilty for not having the desire to attend and thinking it’s wrong.

It is okay ? Would she think I forgetten we were ever friends if I don’t attend ? Is this a part of growing up and apart ? How do you figure out if someone is still in your circle ? If you hear from them once a year then you’re still kinda friend cuz you attempt to stay in contact ? Or once every few year ?

I have questions lol

And yes I’m overthinking . Been doing a lot of that today

Checkin in :

Turns out the bride didn’t event invite me . It’s the sister and and the mom . So in that case , I don’t think I will be attending .. because on top of that , the event is themed . It’s next weekend and I don’t have money for the costume and the bridal shower gift on top of that
Are you trying to convince us or you?

If you broke, stay home

No one on dxp is important enough for me to bother convincing lol just seeking inputs to help reach my own decisions when I’m undecided is all
