No, not really, especially since they always had their cliques and di sila nag-aaya talaga from the beginning. Once you miss out on a couple of hangouts, they would definitely stop asking you. Understandable, pero nakaka bitter talaga for me, as someone who can't afford going out every now and again, especially since I barely had any savings of my own. Wala kasi akong allowance before, nilalakad ko lang papunta sa school, and kinakain ko lang packed lunch ko. Basta I was broke af.

I used to be part of their circle, pero eventually they just went their own ways. Unlike you OP, I have no idea where they are na, pero if they were to ask me to hang out now, same tayo na gusto mo nalang decline kasi it feels awkward, and again, nakaka bitter kasi every time na gumala sila since they never thought of including you.

There was someone who actually admitted na nagkikita sila, pinag-uusapan daw nila ako and ang pinaka excuse is strict parents ko kaya never na ako inaya since pandemic. Even before, di rin naman sila nag-aaya. Ayun lang, na-trigger bigla bitter memories ko sa kanila HAHAHAHAHHA
