Today, I spent a lot of money buying a birthday gift for a close friend, only to find out I'm not even invited to the party. FML

Why don't you just ask about the party? Worst case schenario, they secretly hate you and no one wants to be around you. Best case, they just thought you would come. But instead of acting like it doesn't bother you, just mention and ask why you aren't invited. See what happens.

It's possible they just forgot, too. When planning for an event, it's easy to overlook things. My best friend forgot to invite me to her baby shower for her first kid, both because she was busy and it skipped her mind, and because she doesn't have the best memory to begin with.

But if, and this is just my thoughts on your comment #55, but if she's your best friend, then why was your name NOT among the first names to pop into her head when it came to inviting people? Just saying.... I remember I had a best friend years ago, and he was the FIRST name that came to mind, when it came to invitations to ANYTHING.

Your thoughts are of no concern to me because you know neither me nor my friend. I appreciate the concern, but it's not your place to judge my friendships.

Me and my buddies never buy presents for each other, but on the other hand we also don't not invite each other to hand out on birthdays either.

I'd say that's me but I don't have friends to ignore me and uninvite me from stuff ?

Give them the gift anyway. There's no sense being childish about it. You don't have to go to a party to be a good friend.

How is it being childish to withhold a gift that was meant for a friend who was apparently such a good friend that they didn't even think to invite OP to their party in the first place? I say to H-E-double hockey sticks with that "friend"! OP should return the gift, and use the money on themselves. At least you know it's getting put to good use!

Can you please stop replying to every comment I make? This is the third one and it's starting to get creepy.

Don't be too upset OP, my bestie regularly doesn't invite me to her parties. She knows I hate larger groups of people (I have anxiety). So her and I do something together beforehand or on another day. Invite them to do something another time and you can give them the gift then.
