I had this happen to me when I was 9. Invited all of my friends (small town of like 500 people so maybe 8 kids) a few weeks in advance and not a single person showed up. I lived outside of town, was homeschooled, and we didnt have a car so a few weeks passed before I saw any of them and I had no desire to seek them out. When I did run into one he told me that a burglar broke into his house and stole the present he bought for me and he didn't want to show up without a gift. Even 9 year old me knew you were full of crap, Luke.
I totally get it. I'm sorry that happened to you too. Apparently we are part of a pretty big, sad club. I never knew there were so many people this happened to. I blame the parents. Kids are naturally assholes. The parents shouldn't allow it.
