To think I'm just annoying everyone.

[LG93]

I'm lucky to have 4 good friends, although they're in 2 separate circles so there's 3 of us in one and 3 in the other. Thing is I know that in each circle, the other 2 are much closer to each other than me, and I'm feeling a bit like everyone has their 'best' friend other than me.

I just feel a bit down about it and feel like they'd all be happier if I wasn't around. I get on really well with all of them, and I know I'm probably being silly, and wouldn't want to mention anything to them as I don't want them to feel like they've got to like me more or anything.

Sorry, bit of a pointless thread. Just wanted to get it all off my chest. My husband doesn't understand because he's not really got any close friends, although he had lots of good friends, but he has his younger brother who fills that role. I feel like I don't really have anyone...

I think you need to distract yourself a bit as this is silly. Your friends are all friends. Being close to one person doesn't mean you can't be friends with someone else. Maybe make some new friends somewhere?

You get out what you put in, make more of an effort if you want to be closer.

Not saying that to be antagonistic, friendship doesn't come naturally to me, I'm a bit of an outsider like you. But have come to the conclusion that my coasting along is probably irritating to my friends so I'm trying to be more involved.
