Jen I think that is a really important point. Where you are emotionally effects how you interact with others. I often feel left out and I know I am guilty of leaving people out. Not because I don't like them but probably more to do with where I am in my life and how much extra energy I have to give. It's easier to Catch up with two or three people than twenty. I guess as a result I don't mind so much being left out, if I'm feeling left out of something I tend to try and organize something of my own with friends I know will want to spend time with me. I'd much rather hang out with friends who want me there and appreciate me warts and all. ;-)

If I find myself consistently left out or forgotten by a particular person I tend to reevaluate my relationship with them. i don't want to be in a one sided friendship with anyone.
