Red matching set, Thanksgiving outfit, holiday outfit As for the 4 things Mean Girls do during the Holidays to make you feel left out You find out you weren’t invited to Friendsgiving through someone’s story, the “so grateful for my girls” kind, posted like you wouldn’t notice. And if you do bring it up later, they’ll act surprised: “You should’ve come!” as if you were the one who misunderstood. Because playing innocent keeps their image clean and leaves you questioning your worth. They “accidentally” show you their packed holiday plans. The dinners, the Secret Santa exchange, the cookie-decorating play date. The point isn’t to include you, it’s to remind you you’re not part of any of it. They slip in subtle digs disguised as small talk: “Oh, you’re doing plastic holiday decorations this year? “That’s cute, we just do fresh garlands, I love how festive they smell.” It’s not about decorations, it’s status-checking, a quiet way to remind you they stand a little above you.
