So I’m friends with this girl. We are also mutual friends with this other girl. The mutual friend we have invited me to her party a few weeks ago, and my friend told me not to go to her party and to focus on my work because I would be working the next day. Me and my friend work in the same job and there was a conference day about a week ago. My friend told me not to go to the event because the manager was going to be there and it would be awkward if I saw the manager as we hadn’t been getting along. I showed up at the event anyway and my friend seemed surprised that I showed up and she basically ignored me the entire time and spoke to everyone else.
Why does my friend keep telling me not to go to events?
