So today was meant to be the day was gonna invite a group of people to a small gathering at my house. I made a silly website that'd show all the info and i'd go around personally inviting them.

I think they just liked the idea of being invited more than the event itself. I had around 10 people explicitly tell to my face that they were coming.

Noone followed through.

I probably fucked up somewhere in the process but it hurts nonetheless; It was the first event I had organized for a group. I wanted to share my world with the people around me. I wanted to showcase my dogs and my garden.

At least i've learned something, I got to cook some meat for my family. But damn, this feels isolating.

Classic reddit post.

Organizing an event without knowing if people will show up is insane behavior. Getting upset after nobody shows up and making posts about it is even more insane.

You took an L, it will be okay. But next time don't organize a party if you have no clue how social gatherings work.

    Why be an asshole? This isn't reddit. The number of comments from people in the thread who have experienced the exact same thing should clue you in that maybe you're the insane one? This is a space for venting, so you are welcome to vent as long as you allow others the space to vent about their shit, too.
