Situational Breakdown: Extra Wheel?

Something new. A Situational Breakdown, where I break down an event, and analyze options and other things. This will be the first one I will try.

Situation: Suraj, Colt, Linnea, Shelly, going for ice cream.

Background Info: So, was getting off work today. Colt and Suraj were pretty much going out the door. Since it was the weekend, I sure thought that their girlfriends would be there. Although before seeing them, I said I am heading home to Suraj. I then saw Linnea and Shelly sitting on the car. I went over there, said hi and all. I hanged around a bit. Suraj and Linnea were being goofy, couple like goofy. They didn't know where to go. Suraj annouced they were going to go to Friday's on Sunday to get ice cream. It's a pun of sorts too. Soon after a minute or so, I headed to my car.

Breakdown: Ok, now, since I am a person that overanalyses every situation, I did wonder why I didn't get invited. Granted, on previous situations, I made myself part of the convo, and introduced the fact of me going, and it was widelly accepted. Also the 2 last times, there was a person besides me and them. The first time, it was Devin, the second time it was Paras. So, it leads me to wonder.

I wonder, if I am not automatically invited, and need to put myself in the event. I wondered it I was in part of the equation, because as always, they make those plans, meet each other and go somewhere. I just happen to be there. So, then, if I don't invite myself, I was not part of the plan to start with, so if I walk away, then I will not get invited, for said reasons. That is the logical part, and it follows the pattern. Also there is the fact that I am the 5th person, without anyone else following. The other 4 are couples. So, then, my second theory, would be the 5th wheel one. They are now more of a couple then they were before. So, it would make sense for them to go out as couples only. Hence, I was the 5th wheel, and there was no point in inviting me. Granted, I wasn't worry about being invited, but I did go with them the last 2 times I was with them in the same place.

Post Rationalization: Ok, that is all good, and now comes me thinking things I didn't think at the time. I thought of them while driving home. I have a test Monday, and hey, I am glad I didn't go because I have to study. Also, I got things all cleaned up at work, and I should also clean my room. What if I had gone, and then things end up being late. That would be bad, and I would not have had time to study. My friend is going to call me at 10 to ask me for some notes from school. I am lactose intolerant, and they are going to get ice cream. Although, then I realized I did have lactaid in my car. Also, I didn't know where Friday's was, so that's something else. I thought, I could call Suraj, and invite myself. I cancelled that one out, since I wasn't part of the whole thing as I left the driveway. I thought Suraj would call asking. That was just silly of me, for the reason just before. So, I over analyzed everything, and I am sure there was a bit more, but nothing deviating from what was mentioned before. I didn't think anything negative, or self deprecating as I usually do, because I know them, and I know how they are.

Finalization: Umm, this one was nothing I worried about, I just analyzed it after the fact. In the future I should have more insight.
