You really do not seem to be able to grasp the difference between a country and a club or union.

It's far less rule-taking than the EU ever asked of us: they don't want unlimited migration for example or their own army for a start.
We are British and it affects us.
You on the other hand ............ what?
Are scared because you're aware of the potential benefits this will bring the UK?
Or is it because today is the day the EU ratifies Brexit and you'll be sad to see that happen?

Your imagination about what such invites mean is, like so many of your suppositions, more than a little delusional.
