Did I Rudely Invite Myself?
I have some social anxiety so I avoid putting myself out there even with my friends.
So my friend of many years had a birthday party for her two daughter's planned for Sunday. She called and told me last week.
I was already wondering if I had been invited or accidentally invited myself because she didn't explicitly ask me to come.
I called her today to ask how's the party planning going and she tells me that she is postponed it for one more week and that she had meant to call me.
I say, "oh ok well I guess we will catch up at some point" We chat for 30 minutes then
She says," Well you can just come and visit at any time we are always here".
I pushed through my anxiety to demand that I myself make an effort and I asked her if she wanted to hang out tomorrow. She said, we are always here girl.
That wasn't an actual yes so I asked a minute later "how about we walk a couple laps around your park in your subdivision?"
She didn't really say yes or no so I asked once more.
Then she said that she dosen't do anything on Saturday because its Sabbath.
So I asked if she wanted to walk at Sundown and she finally said yes.
Once I hung up I immediately realized that I had to ask her 3 times and her meantioning Sabbath was a little fishy so what do you think? She changes religious thinking alot so I dunno how important that Sabbath is to her really or if it was an excuse.
I think I will text her tomorrow that I'm so exhausted from my travel today that I cannot go walking.
Will give us both an out.
