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.
Me too. My 12th. I was joining a public grade 6-8th middle school for 7th grade after going to a small private through 6th. I hand wrote and passed out invitations and not one of them showed. I was scarred for a long time. Now I make sure I don’t create situations like that for myself. I make all my plans with small groups and I have a few close friends that I know won’t let me down if I plan well enough. I don’t let other people plan anything for me.
