Sad me very sad | ADHD Information
Did you call her and express how disappointed you were. You may feel better if you face it directly and honestly rather than guessing what actually happened. Alot of people accept this approach well, and if not she wasn't someone you'd want to know anyways. Phone her and get her direct, so its not eating at you. Then kick her a** afterwards.CC - That really sucks. I'm sorry. Don't allow others to make you feel valueless. You are of great value. And your time that you put in on this auction was valuable.Ok then, Sheri is gonna reem her out
Barb is gonna Bitch slap her
Bepatient is gonna kick her ass
Countrygirl is gonna sit back and watch all the action.
Creative Crazy - It's not you who messed up, it was HER! Don't take responsiblity for her screw up. Looks like you have plenty of friends here. Now, let's dress up and go party!!
Yes CC, I would talk to her directly either in person or on the phone untill I reached her and got a straight answer. Just be tackfull about it...then kick her ass!
I think it would be great if some of us could go meet with you CC on that evening. We could all get dressed up and go out on the town!... Ya know, I think I really would if you wanted me too! 
CreativeCrazy,
I understand how awful it can feel.
I think sometimes if they don't talk about the invitation for a while, they assume that all involved understand that the invitation was just "talk." Sometimes they change their minds.
I think also that unless someone has felt what it's like to be the one "forgotten", it's easy to forget. I really also think that other people who have felt "forgotten", are grateful for the moment that they can be the "important" one and forget someone else "accidentally".
In any case, whether or not it was intentional on the other person's part, it sucks and I'm really sorry for the way you feel.
I agree with the poster who suggested checking in regularly about the invitation to avoid it happening again.
In any case, on the day of the event, can you possibly find something else really exciting to do. You already have a nice dress, and it sounds like a few hundred dollars. What sort of cool thing could you do that day instead (with the dress or casaul clothes) - just something you'd really like to do.
Also, just my opinion - sometimes the only way to do something you've really wanted to do - is to do it on your own. I started doing things on my own when I feel like it - and it can be fun!

Im a fighter by nature when it comes to injustice
I'll fly in and get your back Barb and my tongue can be as sharp as a rattle snake too if need be.
CC, I am really sorry you've had to deal with such an awful situation. Maybe the night will really suck and you'll be glad you didnt go.
Thats what I don't get Auntie. You would think that if you were involved in planning and setting up the event, that you would get a free seat. I'm confused too.[QUOTE=barb]sheri and I will go beat her up and take her ticket so you can go in her place. She won't be needing it while she is in the hospital. 
[/QUOTE] hey wait who said anything about beating her up...i'm a lover not a fighter.. i said i'd give her a earfull of me bit**en.. i betting after listening to me nonstop you'd get your ticket..
barb, but if your really in the mood to fight i'll bring my baseball bat.....can't use my hands don't want them to get bruised
Oops sherri! I got caught up in the moment! You go for her verbally and if that don't do the trick, I'll slap her silly. Then there will be someone around to call an ambulance after she retaliates. Oh wait, mikmum said she would help, so maybe I'll get out in one piece.
I used to be a lover too until I had to learn to fight to get my son any little bit of help. I guess it warped me for life!
CreativeCrazy,
Sorry to hear about that,Sometimes I wonder where all the compassionate and caring people are... I think they are all here on this board! I hope you find some peace knowing that there are people out here that don't even know you, but care. Makes me feel better. I feel blessed that I found this board, It's difficult living with add/hd and feeling misunderstood or alone. So, anyway--Hope you have a good night in spite of your "friend"s insensitive actions.
I hate it when stuff like this happens.
I agree with lynnann about the reminding thing. I tend to be friends people who have ADD tendencies if not outright ADD. They need the reminder as much as I do.
With non-ADD people, I try and take a step back and look at the invite objectively. Sometimes (unfortunately not always) I can tell if the person was sincere or just "being thoughtful at this particular moment."
Still sucks though. *sympathy*
Reisa38758.767962963Hey cc, thats me, i am always forgotten about, then when i say what about me i feel embarrassed, sad and angry. let me tell you one thing I figured out. if this should happen again make sure you constatnly remind that person about the big day. "I can't wait to go.....with you" " its going to be so much fun" and keep reminding them with out actually reminding them.
you are not a non person your just one of us and we are not non people. so cheer up now you can spend the evening with us. make sure you wear your dress. I'll dress up too.
oh wow..... how sad..
i think i would have to call that lady and give her a ear full.. how rude...give me her phone# i'm pi**ed off for you..I have been working on this fundraiser/auction for about 7 months...I was invited about 6 months ago to sit at a table with a friend...since I am recently divorced...she invited me so I wouldnt be sitting alone....The fundraiser is in two weeks....it is a big one at a country club....I just found out that the person who invited me to sit at her table did not include me on her list of guest when she turned it in...I cant believe that someone would make a big deal about inviting you to sit with them...and then forget they invited you...her table was 10k....and individual tickets are 300...needless to say I cant buy a table...and individual tickets are not available anymore...so this auction that I have worked on...bought a dress for...etc...and I am such a social looser that I have been looking forward to this event for quite sometime and now ...after all this excitement and build up...I cant go....totally out of my hands...cant go.....I swear...this is the perfect representation of my ADHD life...allways getting excited about something and something happens to that happiness never comes....funny thing too...I e-mailed the woman who invited me and told her that I hadn't heard from her about the auction invitation so I would just purchase my own ticket...(at that time I did not know the tickets were sold out)...on AOL you can see the status of the e-mail..I can see where she read it....she still hasn't responded....the way I found out I was not sitting at her table is the auction office told me she turned in the guest list for her table and I was not on the list....I am not mad...I am just sad...just sad that I am such a "non person" that someone could forget they invited me.....and then even further feel that I am a "non person" and not even acknowledge my e-mail asking about it....how can an ADHDer boost their already low self esteem when you constantly experience things like this....oh yeah..and I know for a fact that I did not do anything to this woman...I know that there will be some people who post a reply thinking this is why....I go out of my way to be nice to everyone...even when I really want to tell them to go somewhere....that ends in LLsheri and I will go beat her up and take her ticket so you can go in her place. She won't be needing it while she is in the hospital.
CC,
I'm so sorry about that 
. "MEAN PEOPLE SUCK" just came to my mind! I believe this person is just jealous of you and is obviously also a very cold hearted person.
Why is it you would have to pay for a seat since you have been working on setting the whole thing up?
Please just avoid these types of people. They mostly just care about apearances and what they just bought and how much money their husbands makes and all that petty, mindless BS.

bepatient....I don't think she did it on purpose...I really think she just forgot about me....plain forgot....and I think her reason for not responding to my e-mail was just because she felt bad because she forgot...I am sad because I am someone who can just be forgotton....
