But you said that you dont care about them then why do you care what other think about you?
Because it's generally best not to offend people in the workplace if you can avoid it. If I chose not to attend, it would be very obvious that I wasn't there, and even though I don't consider this person a close friend, we work together enough that I wouldn't want to make her feel bad.

You are my new soulmate (don't you hate that stupid term)
I always loathed attention and NEVER wanted my birthday acknowledged.
This never seemed to sink in, folks didn't believe me. Now I am a recluse and don't have that struggle anymore.
I already know how the majority of you are going to take this, but oh well. I don't consider the majority of my coworkers to be friends. They are just people who I'm forced to spend 40 hours a week with in order to make money. I don't care about their personal lives and they don't care about mine. However, with engagement and pregnancy announcements, I feel like I'm being forced to celebrate their sex lives. An engagement to me just means "I found someone who I plan to have sex with forever" and a pregnancy just means "I had sex and now I'm going to pop a baby out at a later date." Sure, it's great for the people involved, but I really don't care. Yet I have to pretend to care and even spend money towards the celebratory showers. I just don't think this is fair. People aren't forced to celebrate the fact that I'm not having sex, so why do I have to celebrate the fact that they are? Just sayin'.
PS: Don't tell me to go to therapy because I already have a therapist. Thanks!
What? This is such an odd thread!
I can honestly say that I never thought," Yay someone to have sex with forever" when I got engaged or married. That was definitely not the reason I got married. Seems weird that is where your mind goes.
Yes, a pregnant woman had sex at some point. No, she's not going around saying, "Wahoo I had sex!" If that's what you think, you certainly have issues.
No one is celebrating anyone having sex. That's all in your head! Stick with the therapy...sounds like you need a lot of it.
