I'm being a bit pathetic, I need to shrug it off

I was at university 20 years ago. Group of 4 us were really close. 14 years ago I fell out with one of them. For a long time instated friends with the other two but the three of them plus 2 others started having weekends away and other catch-up that I wasnt invited to.

Over the years I just accepted that because of the falling out one of us would have to be dropped from the group meet ups and that it was me.

Earlier this year the one I fell out with I got in touch with and we met up and had a great chat. I thought things were back on track but she then blanked me at a wedding and whatever she said to one of the others meant that one is now clearly dropping me.

Jist saw a post on FB from the one who has recently dropped me saying she is catching up with uni pals and having a great time with a check in at a bar.

Everytime I think I've dealt with it and accepted they've moved on I see something like that and it feels like a kick to the stomach again.

Just needed to vent and then I can move on again. Feels shit though.

Block them on social media. Only have your "live" friends on it.

That sounds really hard to deal with. I agree, blocking them on social media sounds sensible. They just don’t sound very nice but it must be hard not to feel left out when you see they’ve met up. Take control and make the decision to move on from them.

Block them, you don't need reminding you are being left out

Just block them... they are still in the playground.

Thanks all. I know. I should do. It's only one person to block. The one I originally fell out with blocked me before she even joined FB. The one who hasn't dropped me and is still lovely about the whole situation never posts anyway.

I think I'm struggling more because in March I thought things were totally moving forward and then I got dropped further. It was such a good night and not in the least awkward and I feel like I failed some kind of test. But I'll never know what story has been spun and I need to let it go.

Stay in contact with the nice friend away from FB. Block the others and you won’t ever see anything to upset you.
