see i have this friend and it isnt that i don't let her have other friends it is just that when she is with the other friend i am not involved in the conversation. Also when this friend is around i dont think that my friend notices me even if i try to talk to her. I think that she likes this other friend more but it not willing to say it to my face. I have told her that i feel left out and somewhat betrayed because when this other person is around i am forgotten. Ihave told my friend this and then she denies it then agrees that i am being left out. I am sorry this is so long but really need the help and dont know what to do
FunnyCide answered Friday January 14 2005, 12:55 pm: Ok, so you said that you've told this friend that you feel left out. I'm going to name her "Sally" and I'm going to name the friend that she hangs out with "Jane". Ok, so you've gone to Sally and said, "Sally, I really enjoy your company, and I like being your friend. But whenever you, Jane and I hang out, I feel very left out. Like a third wheel. I don't like this feeling, because I like you alot, and I enjoy hanging out with you, but I am starting to feel betrayed." If she still doesn't listen, go to Jane and tell her sortof the same thing. Tell Jane that you like her company too, and that you would appreciate it if she would help Sally to see that you're being left out and that you want to be included more. If they both ignore you, they're not really friends. It's hard to be left out, kicked to the side, a third wheel, an outcast, leftovers and more. (Believe me, I know) But if your "friends" are doing this to you, you need to find some better friends. Sometimes it's hard to have a close threesome; but it's not impossible. Talk to your friends in-depth about how you feel, and if nothing happens, try to find some better friends.
