Sounds like a teenage school kind of scenario and I feel awful for thinking this but jeez!
Group of us, friends for years, get together every 4-6 months and it’s an absolute joy.
I love these women.
About 2 years ago another friend joined us, the more the merrier but she is a mood hoover and hard work.
It makes me not want to meet them all as I dread seeing this person.
The last get together one of the friends told a really funny story about a thing that happened to her recently, it was funny. We were all laughing, loved the story except this person who remained stony faced then stated that she didn’t find it in the least bit funny and would have demanded to see a manager and complained if it had happened to them.
Everyone just giggled and told her not to be daft.
That’s one example, but it’s every time. She just brings the mood down.
Theres another get together arranged soon and I just don’t want to go, I want to make an excuse but I don’t want to not see the others.
I don’t want to say anything because these people are the kindest people you could meet and would never exclude or be anything but welcoming to everyone so it’s a “me” problem.
WWYD?
