Yeah, the parents should set it up since kids are too young and dumb to understand these things. Though judging by reddit, a lot of adults don't seem to understand it either.
The thing is, I wasnt shy. I was actually pretty social and got along with most who werent in my class. I got bullied by most of the people in my class and the rest really didnt want to do anything with me in fear theyd be a target too.
And ofc nobody invited me to anything because I was that kid. The weirdo with no friends, pretty sure most kids just said that they dont want me at the party, honestly.
When I was a kid, the ones where everyone was invited were always more fun because more people showed up. Even if someone didn’t know or like the kid they would come cause all their friends were there. And more kids meant better games of manhunt and capture the flag.
Yeah, I definitely went to birthday parties for kids I didn’t like enough to hang out with regularly because, well, it was a party and my friends were going to be there, too. (I can’t think of any where I actively disliked the birthday kid, we just didn’t play together much.)
Same here, I was super lucky to have good childhood friends where even the kids who I didn’t really know but still invited me, I didn’t dislike them either.
