Thinking about having a birthday party for my birthday this year but I'm not sure who I'd invite because it's a lot of work, I'd have to make food, deal with people giving me presents that I don't need but have to be courteous about and arrange some activities for us to do. And I'd have to figure out who I'll invite because I have a lot of friends from different social circles and I wouldn't want anyone to feel left out but at the same time, I don't want certain people at my birthday party because I don't think our relationship is as close as it used to be and now this is a crazy long post unintentionally
and you could maybe do something small with a close group of friends. don't feel pressure to invite people you don't want around
As for the friends thing thanks :) It's so nice to know that I don't have to invite people just because I'm worried they'd feel left out if I don't want to invite them
