Thanks everyone. You may be right and this may not be about me after all. It's just that we hadn't had this type of interaction in a long time and W's "crappiness" was directed at me, not at D8. I'll let it ride and see what happens next. This still feels wrong though.
BTW, I had a great time at the birthday party last night. Stayed out til 3 am. It had been a very long time since I'd been out so late. Met lots of new people who actually seemed interested in pursuing a friendship with me. Three of them actually asked for my number before we left and we made tentative plans to hang out.
The birthday girl was very happy to see me there and although we hadn't been great friends in the past, we ended up having a good time and some nice talks. It did feel a bit weird as everyone there were born in the 80s and 90s but it still was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to a repeat of this type of event, especially because I didn't think about my sitch the entire time I was there.
