Is it mean or rude to just invite some friends and not all?
What about saying NO when you are invited to go somewhere or do something?
I think the answer to both questions is NO?
Sometimes you need a break from big groups! It is not like just cause you asked a couple friends and not all your friends that you like certain friends better!! It is sometimes easier to do things with a smaller group of people. There is always something to do that anyone and everyone is invited to.
Something i really struggle with is saying No when people invite me somewhere!! I never feel like it would be rude to say no. I just love hanging out with people. I am very much a people person. I feel that the group of people i have hung out with lately feels that everyone always needs to be there and will go as far as convincing or at least trying to convince people that are not interested into hanging out. I am guilty of this myself!!
I love my friends. I love being around them! One thing I personally am realizing is you need time to yourself also! You need time in smaller groups of people to build a genuine relationships!! The fact is people act different in big groups than they do when you hang out with just a couple people!! How are you supposed to build a true friendship and trust a person if you don't know the real them!!
Some may say you need to be yourself all the time and i agree!! In big groups sometimes you limit your character as a person so that you don't offend the people that you are hanging out with! Some people they are shy in big groups! There are a million + reasons why people are a little different in a big group!
