Exclusivity is Toxic

Exclusivity is toxic. It’s not that hard to include people in your plans. I’ve noticed a pattern in my daily life where people, who’d I’d like to call my friends, exclude me from several activities they planned without me. The worst part is when they discuss their plans around me, while I’m just sitting there clearly upset. It leaves me thinking, “What am I doing wrong?” and “Why I am not good enough to be invited?” Being excluded really makes a person think they are the problem, when it’s really the people who are excluding them in the first place.
