Here’s some additional context from OP: “The day of the dinner, my mom and I cooked some food to bring. I texted my friend a heads-up that I was on my way to theirs. They replied, saying that the dinner location was changed to a different friend’s house in the next city over, about 20 miles away.
I started driving towards the city and asked for the address. They said everyone was already there and that there wasn’t enough room for me. I tried following up but didn’t hear anything else from them afterwards, and I didn’t want to make a scene by texting other people that were there, as most were friend-adjacent for me.”
