It's Friday. I am ready to go back to my old job. I have to interact with way too many people right now. But happy Halloween!

Had one child for Halloween. Which is one more than average!

I'll eat the rest of the mini snickers.

I also did not make the pumpkin shaped cake. The pumpkin shaped bundt pan had silverfish so I had to scrub it. It's fiiiine. I'll make it tomorrow after we buy more edibles.

I dont know if any of you remember my post about struggling with friemdship and that one friend (A) excluded me from partys because i'm on the spectrum.

Well long story short, i organized my own Party group from our friendcircle , and went to a Party.

And i didnt told them (A) about it because, they would not want to go anyway, its not common to share everything we do in our group and i didnt want to stir up old drama.

But now (A) is calling me a liar for planing behind their back, keeping secrets, and excluding them.

But we didnt even tried to keep it a secret, it was mentioned in common group chats and when A asked me i told them what we are doing.

Why are humans like that with inconsistent emotions, did i miss something obvious, are there secret rules?

No secret rules, A is an asshole. Sounds like one asshole I knew at least, very common behaviour
