That is a hard one, and may have many answers.

How often do you feel left out?

Did they try to call you to include you? Was it set up i advance or was it a spur of the moment thing where you had to "be there" at the right time to be included?

Do you include them in things you are doing?

Sorry to ask questions rather than answer them, but I sense there is something more going on there.

Gentle hugs.

I'd say grateful. But then you shouldn't need to be "reassured" you are someone's friend....

Rejection hurts - I understand.

Pepper-
It's kind of like...They got a new cell phone number and didn't tell me kind of thing... That is only a example circumstance because there have been several happening to me with several people over the course of a while.

I think we all have different circles of friends. Some we are really tight with, others are more casual.

I am sorry they are leaving you out on things.

Rejection or feeling deliberately left out is the pits.

I hope you are having better experiences soon.

Sorry Friend, I know this kind of thing hurts :( Big hugs to you...and remember that depression makes big things out of little things. Perhaps it really was unintentional :)
