*** DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
- What is the difference between not invited versus excluded? Why does that difference matter? (Hint: Think about the intention of the host.)
- What are some non-mean reasons why you might do something with one friend but not another?
- Why is it not a good idea to yell at someone for not inviting you?
- All-or-nothing thinking means believing something has to be perfect or it’s worthless. Why is this not a useful way to think about friendship?
- Dr. Friendtastic said, “What your friends do when you’re not around is not your concern.” What does that mean? Do you agree? Why or why not?
