Also these are people that Lucy had little to no interaction with. Rachel and Jess were invited to her party by Daisy not Lucy. And before that she had little to no interaction with this group, even with them being her brothers friends. Why would they just automatically include her??

2022-01-10 18:08:27 +0000 UTCEdit: and I want to add in that Madison's note of, "if it were me, I would want to keep an eye on them", is really meant to drive home the above. Even Madison, who apparently was just informed about what happened/was happening, is showing empathy and somewhat remorseful for being that way towards Lucy. But, in that same instance, Jordan and co. put Madison's feelings first - Despite it being clear that, you know, there probably is very good reason not to. It's a pretty great tactic by the author, tbh, to show what healthy empathy looks like vs. how the majority of the cast is treating Lucy.

2022-01-09 22:24:15 +0000 UTCThis, that she has defaulted back to focusing her emotional and social needs on a single favorite person is one of her bad habits. I don't blame her at all for a little bit of a backslide, but ideally she can lean a bit more on her other friends so Auggy can spend some time being a normal teenager too, vs being her peer primary caretaker. That is part of what burned Mike out over time. I am glad that she is trying to encourage him to have other friends as best she can, but I hope she does reach out to Sue or others.

2022-01-09 15:27:21 +0000 UTCppl are so odd suggesting that Lucy has been alone and completely abandoned by her friends/family, Sue and Paulo spent a ton of time trying to stay close to her and invite her to things and show they care for her. Lucy went out of her way to avoid her old friends and stick to Augustus, most likely because she's always felt safest sticking to one 'best' friend. it's repeatedly been a big issue for her and why she has trouble maintaining friendships outside her fav person
