RainbowPolkaDots answered Wednesday December 22 2004, 7:43 pm: Alright, this is like reading the story of my life. This is what I did, and it's working out well for me. You need to start distancing yourself from these people, just a little at first. Go out and make some new friends. New experiences always rock, and maybe your old friends will come to miss you. Only time will tell if the friendships were really all that worth it. I say distance yourself a little bit because friendships to take work, just quitting all together might be irrational. Well, good luck who knows what you'll find! [ RainbowPolkaDots's advice column | Ask RainbowPolkaDots A Question ]
xocaribbeangrl32 answered Wednesday December 22 2004, 4:48 pm: an odd number of peole never work out. thats why in most groups of friends there is usually an even ammount of people. Its not that your friends dont like you, its that with things such as one-on-one time...it only involves two people. im sure that if you and one of them spend a day togeather the other girl will feel jelous and like a "third wheel" too. so ask yourself if you really wanna be their friend. if yes, stick with them, knowing everything is not always going to be how you'd like it/if your not sure, or only hainging on to hold the title of "i have a best freind" mabey you should start being more true to yourself.
hope i helped...x0 [ xocaribbeangrl32's advice column | Ask xocaribbeangrl32 A Question ]
Shortie8959 answered Wednesday December 22 2004, 4:04 pm: OMG, that happened to me in 7th grade, except that it was more of a 5th wheel, lol. I had 4 friends, and 2 of them were best friends, and so were the other 2, so I didn't have one. They'd totally ignore me all the time, like, at assemblies, we'd all go down together, but none of them wanted to sit by me. I was soo pissed, so I know how you feel. Well, 3 years later, I'm not friends with them anymore, and now I have a lot of best friends. So my advice to you is, get away from them, and find new friends, because you're only going to be miserable! Good luck!
Hope I helped!

Tinkerbelle answered Wednesday December 22 2004, 11:50 am: Go get some new friends!! You don't need to feel like the third wheel, or put up with depressing people. Unless you wanna try to work it out, but I wouldn't personally. Who cares if everyone has a best friend but you? Find some new friends, and maybe they'll become best friends.

AsKmE135 answered Wednesday December 22 2004, 11:16 am: If you're not happy, then definately try to find new friends. But still stick to being friends with these 2 girls.. You just don't have to call them your 'best friends.' Find new best friends, friends that don't make you feel left out, and are positive, happy people.

AdInA answered Wednesday December 22 2004, 10:40 am: i used to feel like that too. they probably don't notice it, so help them by talking to them about it! if you don't, they will probably keep making you feel that way. you know, people who have more than one friend will always feel left out no matter what! it's totally normal, because no one is perfect! every friend will have their ups and downs, but they should always be there for you! either talk to them about it, or meet new people to be friends with! you will find one that suits you!! :) [ AdInA's advice column | Ask AdInA A Question ]

DrAnqel answered Wednesday December 22 2004, 3:27 am: whenever there is 3 best friends, someone will always feel left out, no matter how much you talk to them about it, its gonna happen, but you know what, every time you talk about it, you become closer as best friends, if you really want to be friends with them and they want to be friends with you, then you guys can work it out, hang out more ya noe? but if you really dont feel included even if you talk to them afterwords and stuff, then you have a reason to "split off" because there are other people out there that would probably be happy to be your friend, and by they way, every friend you will ever have will have their ups and downs, depression-wise, well, anyways, I hope i helped and i really do hope things work out for you.
