Hey Amanda,
Okay. So I'm in a group of friends with three other girls and we're like oober tight. It's kind of insane. The other three have known each other for like EVER and I just joined their friend group last year. Everybody seems to have something that makes them different but me. Like there's a shy one, a funny one, an athletic one...and me. I'm a little bit of all of them, and it kind of makes me feel out of the loop. I know they don't mean to do it, but sometimes they can really hurt my feelings. Like okay, so one of them showed this really embarrassing picture to another one of my friends who's not in the group even when I told her not to. And it REALLY pissed me off. I love them to death, but I'm afraid to talk to them about how I feel because I just want to fit in. I don't really know exactly what to do. It's not like they're evil and I'm a friendless loser, it's just I feel a little odd. Okay, well you probably don't care anymore. So. What should I do?
Mucho Love,
Caught in between
