I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but here goes...

I have this friend who I used to invite to every social outing. Without fail, they'd turn me down, just like in that comic. After a while, I just stopped trying. I mean, you can't expect me to always chase after someone who clearly doesn't want to be included, right?

Now, here's the kicker. I sometimes get comments from them or mutual friends saying they're not getting the chance to join because I haven't considered inviting them. And honestly? It makes me bitter.

Look, if you don't want to participate, that's fine. But your constant rejection has consequences. Consequences you brought on yourself and shouldn't be my problem to fix. I'm not a mind reader, and I'm not going to keep extending invitations that always get shot down.

Maybe I'm the asshole here, but I feel like there's a limit to how many times you can reach out before you just have to accept that someone isn't interested in hanging out. And when they complain later? That's on them, not me.
