Still fucks with my brain that this is apparently a way some folks invite people to stuff.
loom@asterism wait a minute
those are invitations?
@coconut_noodle Yeah apparently a lot of folks will do this. Like if they just out of the blue say smth like that it can be invitation. But knowing this is true I still miss it all the time.
Morgan ⚧️@coconut_noodle @asterism I always thought people were just trying to rub it in that I'm not invited 😭

babble encat@asterism The result of one single accidental self-invite 20+ years ago possibly
Ελλεν Εμιλία Ά.ζ.@asterism these are mostly problematic because one can't know if they're open to others joining, or if there are formalities to that, or no one additionally can join at all.
antimagic heart-sickness@asterism that is fucked up
i can't imagine someone who'd take those as implied invitations and invite themselves along, who the group would actually consider welcome

Because rejection hurst. If they invite you and you turn them down, they feel hurt. But if they open a space for you to invite yourself, they don't feel (so) hurt if you pass.

Towering Toska@asterism I revert to inviting people to things this way after they turn down direct invitations for a while, because it feels like it requires less of an affirmative "no" of them, and I didn't want them to have to feel bad for declining.

@asterism Had almost exactly the same conversation at the end of high school.
Classmate: Why aren't you ever coming out with us when we're hanging out in town?
Me: Yeah, why aren't I?
I never did get explicitly invited. ...It also occurred to me later that I may have come off as sarcastic, but I genuinely meant it as "I don't know how this 'hanging out' thing works".

Wombat For Hire@asterism Forgive me, I don't read implicit social cues very well and I subsist on the blood of mortals.
