That's horrible. I've been the victim of this before now, and as I'm sure you're tired of hearing, those people are not friends. The best way to think of it, is that you would never treat another friend the way you have been treated, and soon you will find friends who deserve you!

</3 I'm sorry, OP. I've had this happen to me so many times, and Asperger's probably didn't help (not saying *you* have it at all btw, just an example). I've come to learn however, that it isn't me like I thought. There are just sooo many fakes out there, and it was too hard for me to read people to be aware of any subtle indication or red flags. What I've learned? Sometimes there *aren't* any. People are just shitty sometimes, and everyone else here is right - these are *not* your friends. I'm so sorry you had to find out like that, OP. I give you my condolences and wish you the best of luck with finding people who are just as loyal to you as you are to them.

Haven't you ever heard of "asshole friends"? Yeah, that's sometimes the friends, not the person.

I hope you aren't friends with them anymore! If they treated you like that, then you sure as heck don't need to treat them like friends!

That sucks butt majorly! I've had that, and similar done to me OP. IN MY OPINION - you need to talk to the organiser of said dinner and sort it out. Otherwise the feelings of left out will build and you'll explode!

Did all of them tell you it was cancelled or did one person tell you? If it's the first one, then maybe they brought it back on but forgot to tell you. If it's the second one, you should've checked with them to be sure. Still they're not very nice

Some friends. I'm sorry this happened to you. You could remark that you thought the lunch was cancelled, but you probably won't get much of an answer.

Well, now you know how they really are. You can send them to the devil and look for truly friends.

Dying to here what you commented on the photo, OP.

That's why I'm scared to make plans with anyone. Damn, shitty friends. :(
