Question Posted Thursday January 27 2011, 12:09 pm
I'm a 15 yr. old girl. My cousin is also 15. He has been fighting with me a lot lately and he's gotten closer to our 16 yr. old girl cousin. I feel a little left out because she and I were close at one point. Now my boy cousin is treating me like crap for no reason. He told me he wants nothing to do with me but when I ignore him he gets mad. I have asked him what the problem is and he tells me he doesn't know. I dont want to tell him how i feel about being left out because he will tell our other cousin who isn't close to me anymore. please help me. I'm out of options and I hate being treated like this.

I hated the feeling of not only being left out and treated like crap but for no apparent reason. Turns out the other cousin he started hanging out with ( in my situation) didn't like me... at all. So he ditched me ALL the time. In my case I had to get out. I couldn't deal with that stress anymore so I found someone else and started hanging out with them. I basically removed myself from the situation and I found I was happy. I miss our close friendship but I am happier now than when I was always being left out and upset. Now me and my cousin are okay. We talk and stuff whenever we are near but I don't feel like I have to hang out with him anymore. I don't feel left out.
I would try and do that same. I know you'll feel bad at first, but I promise eventually you will be like " I should've done this sooner" [ cheryl_diamond's advice column | Ask cheryl_diamond A Question ]
