Why do girls act like this?

Ive been in my job for a few years now. In the same group of girls (always spend our lunches together and help eachother get through crappy days etc) Everything was fine and dandy, then a few weeks ago they all went out on a Friday for dinner and drinks (elsewhere) after. I am pregnant, but they didn’t invite me and im feeling a bit upset about it. I have all of them on social media and saw all of their posts about it so there was no hiding their night out?! Since that night, none of them have spoken to me at work, no messages, no ‘good morning!’… nothing! I am really struggling to understand what has happened, as that Friday lunchtime we all spent together and was a normal day? Luckily I only have a couple weeks of work left until I go on mat leave, but it has really got to me. I tend to keep to myself a lot as im a very anxious person so im now alone at work…

I don’t like calling people jealous, but a lot of good things have happened to me recently and that’s the only explanation I can come up with, that things are finally going my way and maybe they don’t like that?

Why do girls get like this? anyone else been through this? trying not to bawl my eyes out at this all. AIBU to even care as they clearly dont?

My friends left me out a couple of times when o was pregnant, they were fine with me and not off like you’ve described but I lost my shit a bit and had it out with them - so unlike me, and we talked and it was good as they had no idea how I was feeling, my friends don’t have kids themselves, do your work pals? Talk to them and if there still being off bin them, you don’t need shitty people in your life who treat a pregnant person like that Flowers

They're not very nice people and not very good friends when it comes down to it. Women don't do this particularly more than men, in my experience.

Perhaps they've realised you're going to be away on leave for a long period of time and have cynically decided to reduce their interactions with you. As they're not actually very nice or good friends.

Presumably you have non-work friends who aren't behaving like this?

Presumably they're not actually girls but are in fact grown women. They're either dicks or you're not seeing something in your own behaviour that's offended them. I object to making this about female behaviour. It isn't

It could be that one of them is spreading lies about you, you know the old 'divide and rule' tactic. I think you should try and speak to one of them about what's going on.

As we're strangers to you, we don't really know. As to why they left you out, It could be them, or it could be you. Don't know.

Are you more friendly with any one of them? If you are could you just ask that person what's happened for the whole group to turn against you like that?
