I was at work and they were organising the Christmas party. One of the other girls in the office said she was inviting some people to her house first, to meet up, and then go together.

A few days later something about the party was mentioned and the time to be there for etc. I said "But we're all meeting at your house first, so we'll all be together". She looked totally horrified and said "No, I'm only having a few certain people, not everyone, I never said you were invited."

I felt so guilty and angry at myself, just assuming I was invited. I avoided her for the rest of the day (and maybe the next day). I didn't really want to talk about the party, and definitely not to her. In fact it put me off going. I felt so ashamed.

I know I was young and stupid, but not that young (in my early 20's). I was so rude. Now I'm definitley finding it easier not to talk to people unless they ask me something and need an answer, then I can't say anything bad, or make a fool of myself.
