That feeling of being the outsider, wanting to fit in and never quite finding the way to do it. This time I was one of those women who went to lunch, but I've been on the other side of that desk wishing to be acknowledged. It's horrible. The squirrel cage in my head that keeps whirring, not stopping, and only feeling miserable. On some occasions I can self-sooth and brush it off, but other times it festers. You did do the right thing, talking about it. I'm the queen of passive aggressiveness and have a long past of never speaking up. Of course, if you're like me, you'll now worry that people in the office will now always worry about forgetting to include you and that squirrel cage will get to turning and funky feelings will start popping up. ;-) It ain't easy being human, much less someone with sensitivity. Oh, to be a clueless jerk, who can care less about how others think about him. Still, you will always be more empathetic and sympathetic to others, while that jerk will be exactly that - a jerk.

We're all mostly self-centered. Don't over-think. If they noticed, it passed quickly. People are odd creatures, but not so very deep. We’re all mostly self-centered. Don’t over-think.
