I'm honestly not too sure if I'm making something out of nothing. This has been happening more frequently and it's starting to bother me. My good friend of multiple years has a bad habit. She'll plan things with me, and then invite me with those same things with other people as a "if you want to come" or "if you feel like joining". For example, I was getting into Chess and mentioned to her that I would love to go to a beginners chess club with her. She said she'd love to, I looked into possible options, but nothing was decided firmly as she didn't know when she' be free. Then the next week, she messaged me saying that she was going with a work friend to a chess club that night as I could come if I wanted. Yesterday, I mentioned I really wanted to do a half marathon, she was keen, I looked at possible options for an hour and told them about it on the phone. Narrowed it down to two, but it gotblate so she said she'd decide later. I just got a message that she was at the pub with her friend and decided to run a half marathon with her friend and if I wanted to join. Writing it out I feel silly, because I recognise that she is still inviting me. But I feel hurt because it makes me feel like a second option, and that the effort I make to suggest and research isn't worth much. Like an idea generator but not a participant lol. I want to be immature and air her, but I know I should communicate properly. How would you suggest I do this? Thanks all!
