The things you guys get worked up over is downright sad.
Seriously, stop acting like this person is pacing his living room in tears, fists pounding over a party picture. Admitting that something made you feel bad is hardly "getting worked up". Sheesh, drama queen often?
What I don't get is why anyone would criticize this poster for admitting that he felt left out, while automatically assuming that the person sending him the picture is an innocent bystander. As these forums do such a good job demonstrating, the world is full of dicks. People--especially insecure people--make dick moves all the time, fully intending to put other people down. Is that the case in this situation? No one knows, but it's certainly entirely possible.
To the OP, like I said before, not knowing either of you personally, I can't tell you whether your feelings are justified. But I can tell you that life is short and the world is big. Fill your space with people who lift you up, dump the ones who bring you down. Unless, of course, EVERYONE brings you down. Then you might have to start thinking it could be you.

Yup, exactly. Trust me I am not pacing around about this. I just needed a place to anonymously ask others if my feelings are justified and this is a great place to do that.
Sometimes people just sent out pictures of them having fun for no reason at all and sometimes people do it basically to show off, like "Ha, ha I was invited to this great party but you weren't!!!"
The first wouldn't bother me but the second would.

I think you are justified to feel less than happy with this person.

Honestly, even if they are just sending a picture of them having fun, why would they feel the need to send a picture at all? If you are really having fun, then you (at least I) wouldn't be thinking, "Let me take out my phone and absorb myself in social media"..,
But, I don't want y'all to think he only sends me snaps of him having fun at parties. Just today, I got multiple snaps from him detailing totally uninteresting aspects of his life, where instead of being hurt, all I could think about is WHO CARES!!!
I don't think anyone can judge the legitimacy of your feelings without answering the million dollar question: What was the point of this "friend" sending you the photo in the first place?
Despite what the critics on this thread will try to tell you, not everyone in the world is faultless and innocent. Some people really do use social media to advertise how popular they are. Other people go through life completely ignorant of how their actions might make someone else feel, or they know, they just don't give a rats butt. Then there are people who need to self-medicate their insecurities by trying to passively put down people they feel threatened by. We call those people "toxic", and if your friend is in this group, I'd continue what you started and keep distancing yourself.
It's like you said, posting a photo on Facebook is a general post to everyone. Gotta brush it off. But sending a snapchat like you described is akin to saying, "Hey, look how much fun I'm having without you!" That's f-ed up. Lose the loser.
You hit the nail on the head!
