Drifting


Question Posted Wednesday March 22 2006, 7:17 pm

I have a group of friends at school that I have been hanging out with since Semptember. I have known one of them since last year. We all became very close very fast and I liked that. Lately, however, I have been feeling as if I am drifting father away from them. I don't want this. I want to be close to them again. They went up to one of my friend's cottage without and they spend a lot of time together without me. They have so many inside jokes. I feel really inferior. Does it sound like I am being paranoid? Should I talk to them about it or just leave it alone? How can I become closer with them agian?

Thanks, I will rate high for good answers.

To my hurting friend,
I am so sorry that you feel this way. I wish this wasn't true but this is happening to me too at the moment. I told my friends how I was feeling and asked them if I did anything to make them want to exclude me. But I didn't do that right away and got a little depressed about it. So do it as soon as you can, but don't be accusing or make a big deal about it. Calm and cool. Good Luck with your friends I hope everything goes back to normal. Megz

You are NOT paranoid! We have a friend who recently told us she feels left out because we have inside jokes....she was in your situation. She told us about it and it really helped because we didnt know how she was feeling or that it bothered her so much...we made sure shw came out with us more so she was there when the inside jokes were made. I suggest telling them they probably dont even realise it bothers you...and thats not because they dont take notice of you...being in a group of friends can be difficult I suggest trying to find a person in that group you can be close with because that means you will never be left out if they go off again.

Hope I helped xordinarygirlx :P

You don't sound paranoid but they are your friends and you need to talk to them about this. If you want to be closer again, you just have to start hanging out again and have fun and make new memories toghether. Ask them if they want to do something over the weekend and just invite them places. You need to talk to them about this before you guys drift apart even more. They will listen to you.
