OP:

Regarding the bolded part in pink...

I am not the only one who posted that fact that the engagement party is not about you.

Quit being selfish.

I know it isn't about me but is it worth it to make myself feel like crap?

OK...

Then tell the happy couple exactly why you do not want to attend their engagement.

I told her I wasn't sure I would come because my relationship just ended and I don't want to be around coupled up people. I told her that when I was at her house last week, but then I started getting cute texts from the guy I had just went out with and I was like "ok I can do this, I am on the verge of having someone too!" and so I agreed to come but now I don't and I can't.

I mean realistically would it really matter if like 1 person can't come?

So you are "that girl." That girl that can't be happy for somebody else.

Seriously, don't go. We had a "that girl" at our wedding, and she broke down in tears and made a scene. About a year later she decided to go nuts and send rude facebook messages to my wife and her bridesmaids.

If you can't control your emotions, just don't go.

Hahahaha ummm ok I have emotional control. I am not going to do that, I will likely just sit there and text or play with my phone and then leave. A few other girls from my class will be there if I want to interact I can I'm sure. So no I will not be like your wife's friend who is in the corner crying lol. Realistically though have some sympathy for the girl I mean obviously she was likely going through a lot. And no I can't feel happy for her when she has been married before and obviously squandered it and now is doing it again 4 months later. Some of us just need 1 single opportunity. I would make 1 single opportunity work.

You sound vain, needy, and desperate. I pity your friends who invited the chick who's going to sulk in the corner with her phone.

Benefit for you? You have GOT to be kidding. No one is THAT self-centered and narcissistic.
Not everything is about you.... and this engagement party is one of those.

I am not vain, I am incredibly desperate and needy though. I already know that. I wish they wouldn't invite me to stuff like that honestly.

I don't mean it like that. I mean it will likely do more harm than help for me. Why put myself in a position that is just going to be more hurtful than it will be enjoyable and helpful? Am I actually hurting them by not going? I don't think I am.
