I had a very stressful week so I was hoping I would be able to reconnect with some buds.

3:30PM feeling the burn. Weekends tomorrow so I wanted to go out. Haven't had a drink or saw my friends in ages, messaged the defacto leader friend if he wanted to round the guys up to drink. Told me to message the Group Chat. Told him will do so I did.

So 4PM, work will be over soonisg. Shot a message at the Group Chat. Two people are sorta interested but one is gonna be with another group of friends but said he'll ditch them eventually and another one said he'll get there around midnight if we do go. Not much activity.

7PM, off work. I took a taxi cab home. Not much interest brewing in the chat. Everyone must be busy or have plans. I left a message saying it's ok we can try again next time. A friend jostled me about how I always seem to be only available when they aren't, I left a hearty laught react. I'm not too far away from the area where they often fo to so I told them I'm going home but I'm still open to go out the night if they're interested. Nothing much, a guy left the chat because he was tired of all these bullshit plans that don't seem to ever come into fruition. Not much activity there other than some ribbing. All in all I had a relatively peaceful non-alcoholic night.

Now...I digress it was a wrong move on my part to ask everyone out of the blue. But here's where it stings.

Sunday... They uploaded a picture of them drinking out sans 3 of us (Me part of the not included folks).... they apparently did went out. Nobody told me. I wasn't sure if this was on Friday or Saturday if I'm honest but it seemed like it was Friday.

I'm not sure if one of them was just ribbing but he seemed really accusatory about how I talked about drinking and yet I didn't go. Like fuck no one contacted me. There wasn't even anything in the group chat that alluded to anyone going.

One of them even asks why I wasn't invited. One thing I am sure of is I'm really pissed off at them, well not all of mostly just that dickwad who somehow made me out to be the bad guy (? Again not sure if he's serious).

This really stung since I doubt they remembered it but this month had my birthday innit and I wanted to hangout with them but that kinda made me put stuff into perspective. Another friend (outside that friend group) even told me that at least I now know where I stand with them.

Tldr; Asked my pals if they wanna hang out and drink. No replies so I went home. Apparently they did wanna go and went without telling me.

EDIT: I don't think they were giving me shit before about being available when everyone is unavailable for prior events. It was delivered pretty lightly. (EDIT: I think this may be in reference to how the exact same time last year I previously tried to ask them if they wanted to drink out and gotten a resounding 'ehhhh I'm not sure?' and I think at the end there were like 4 of us and we just ended up just doing something lowkey and ended up not getting drunk)

They know I had a very dumb experience getting blackout drunk once so I only tend to drink when I'm feeling down or need to loosen my nerves. I almost often never go out to drink just to drink.

I'm mostly looking for input here if I overeacted or interpreted this the wrong way.
