E109: The Invitation That Never Came
Have you ever sat by the window of your own life, waiting for an invitation that never arrived? In this episode of Wonderland Unlocked, we explore the ache of being left out, forgotten, or deliberately uninvited—whether it was a birthday party, a family gathering, or just the simple sense of being wanted.
Through the lens of Borderline in Wonderland, we unravel how exclusion doesn’t always look dramatic—sometimes it’s silent. Sometimes it’s casual. And sometimes, it cuts the deepest. We dive into:
- The emotional fallout of being overlooked or deliberately left out
- Rejection sensitivity and its roots in childhood neglect or invalidation
- How neurodivergence and BPD can make small exclusions feel seismic
- The stories we tell ourselves when no one saves us a seat
And most importantly, we ask:
What does healing look like when you were never invited to begin with?
Because sometimes, the loudest heartbreak is the party you were never meant to attend.
