solidadvice4teens answered Saturday January 6 2007, 11:46 pm: You both need to understand that even the best of friends for nine years or not sometimes need a break from eachother and an opportunity to meet other people or socialize with other friends on their own. This is normal behavior and expected for both of you.
If she is out with other people or you are out with others and she's not there that's okay. Your friendship will continue as normal as long as neither of you get jealous over something that you both should be doing regularly with others.
You and for that matter she may not have invited you because she and or you in your case felt as though she/you would not jive well with who she invited or have anything in common. It's nothing personal. Just remember any time that you feel jealous or excluded that she always comes back and includes you in other things.

Since you guys are friends of 9 years, you guys feel attached to each other and possessive of one another. If one hangs out with another, one gets immediately jealous because the one who was left out feels rejected and ignored and thinks "We've been friends for so long and she ditched me for them?"
Real friends are hard to find..better yet best friends. You guys should compromise with each other now that you guys won't get mad/jealous of the other when they're with another group of people. I'm sure you guys don't want to break a friendship over a stupid thing that you guys will get over. So just compromise that you guys won't be mad at another...
