AIO that I’m not close enough with my friends to deserve being concerned about/noticed

So I was invited to a bday party and I accidentally missed it because there was a lot of things going on during the past few weeks which stressed me out so much it slipped my mind last minute and I misread the date. I feel extremely guilty about this, i had picked out a gift for my friend the week before so i did want to go and agreed to go, i apologized cause its a genuine accident, but the thing I’m paranoid about is how none of my friends reached out to me during the 6hr party about when I would be there or am I canceling or what’s my status. My friend msged me about this public event I hosted that was supposed to end before the party started (that I literally cannot cancel) but never mentioned the party even tho they are at it and I’m missing?????

The only reason I found out that I even missed the party is because I saw an acquaintance posting about it in another group chat I am in with like 20 people, but all my friends who were invited including the friend who was hosting. Do they not want me there or something or is my presence so low they don’t even realize I was missing??? I didn’t even send a text telling them I can’t go or can’t make it or anything so I don’t know why no one reached out or asked for a status check…

TLDR: I missed a friend’s bday party due to circumstance unannounced. No one asked for a status check even tho I am friends with more than half of the ppl at the party.
