Someone I invited to an outing mentioned it to some people not invited. Makes me question why I try to interact with others. If there's one thing I need nothing of in my life it's drama.

Should've invited more people 
.
The lady who I was failing to date last year is texting me again. Seems she has homesickness. Does it mean anything that she's texting me? I don't know.
Another lady, who I'm getting a bit closer to (and into whom I'd be a bit interested in), was with me at the Salsa (as usual), but became seriously unhappy when I grapped another girl for the 1 round of free dance, and also later when I talked to one of the others (could be coincidence, but one of the comments indicates it might not). Does this mean anything? I don't know. Would be less of a problem if one of my better friends was not totally into her.
Another girl showed some interest, I think. But not sure.
This doesn't seem to be a good constellation right now. Someone will probably be unhappy at the end. Most likely me (at least), I guess.

They're not the only one invited, but I suppose that's something I have to be clear about from now on.

This stuff stresses me out. I can't stand it. I wish I could not feel any romance until I know it'd be reciprocated. As it is, I get my heart broken a lot.
But what are you supposed to do? You don't want to be too forward, but you don't want them to lose interest.
I had heartbreak so hard this summer, I did lots of things I wasn't proud of. I was addicted to seeing his face, and when I couldn't, I got sick. I couldn't sleep. I cried every day.
I hope it works out for you.

Nope, the next target is Kyriakous. He won't name names of those who he is accusing of bullying but we know who we are and are gearing up for Operation Deadtooth Greek Down.
I have flat feet as well. But in my case they are also wide. Finding shoes and boots which fit has become a lost cause. My latest effort has been to take out the removable insole and take an electric sander to it to try to turn it into something flat.

Bah. I stayed home from work today (sick) and there was an early release anyways. Would have had a short workday if I stayed healthy

But that applies in Commie-land.
No, totally not. It was traditional footwear ever since the invention of birch bark and sheep wool. So, long before any Commie thing was invented.

This is the best footwear for summer. I reached up a 2,000m high mountain with them. Granted it wasn't an extraordinarily steep pathway, it's just a three hour walk up-and-down, but I got no blisters, and that's something for a semi-rigid leather shoe.

They're only really good if the heel strip is sewed to the sole though. Glue wears off eventually and it's a pain in the ass.

Well I wont have anymore M&S clothes or snazzy shoes for a while.
I was thinking about one last shopping spree before I finish, but my bank balance said no.
Though my black work shoes are already pretty tattered and worn out after just a few months.

You should have one pair of work shoes for every day, especially if you spend them on your feet all the time.
Flat feet require orthotic supports, not flat soles.
So I thought. But Cutlass said he tried to turn the insoles into something flat with electric sander (please don't ask me why), so I pulled out a couple of examples where there are no insoles to start with.
What if I'm the one bringing my friend's emotional states down? I feel like they sense me as less fun just because I've been very frustrated recently.
Also I feel like I go back and forth being sociable. At least some times I feel a bit more open to talking with others (I wouldn't have made new friends otherwise) but recently I just haven't been meshing with people. The people I've talked to recently just seem so content with their existing groups, their injokes, and their discussions that I have no way in. Maybe that's for the best then.
Yeah, I may have to do that. Though the larger the crowd the more intimidating it is. I'm most comfortable with a small group. Feel like I have more room to talk.

Like the good ole Civilization Fanatics' Forums, no?
Then you have to learn the following mantra: "What happens between somebody else's ears is their responsibility, my part is to care about what happens between mine." Repeat three times a day, after meal.
Implementing Owen's advice in your situation will mean your friends cut you lose, not you cut them off. You have to do nothing.
You don't know what your friends think or feel, you're afraid that it may be something you won't like, but you don't know. And you may be totally wrong, which often happens with fears.
In fact, how other people react to what you say or do, depends not on what you in fact say or do, but on how they interpret that.
E.g.: Guys invite you to a party, and you're not quite in the mood, so you say "no".
Interpretation A: You don't feel well for whatever reason and you don't want to spoil the fun for your friends. You're a nice guy.
Interpretation B: You're ignoring your friends and think you're haughty knob or something. Jackass.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed," or how that goes?
You've been frustrated recently and your friends may think you're less fun? Ok, now it's your time to interpret that. Are they still nice or not quite so nice?
Sometimes being friends means having a decent in-depth conversation instead of having fun. Not always, just once in a while, when a friend needs it.
A working approach might be to start with a large group and pick carefully those few who fit you best for your small group.
Precious things are scarce and need to be searched for. True friends are VERY precious.
