it was meant as a group gift, with pictures of all of us, to be clear. But to give it without me when i did the initiation and the execution, on someone else's bday party, without discussing it with me, nor with me there, when there is another party next week, does not feel great

not whiny at all, seems like something that one person did out of tempo with the general consensus (e.g. given with you there and at next week's party). If I were you I'd talk to the person that slipped up, but try not to let it blow up enough that it gets back to the recipient.

Yeah that is definitely a weird and rude move.

It was thoughtless of your friends to give the gift without you there.

But therefore checking if i am being a little whiny here (and just tell me if i am, i take things way too seriously allll of the time)

Ohhh, that's rough. You have every reason to feel sad and frustrated.
