To think my friends were being rude ?

[malificent7]

Met up with 2 old friends last night. They went to school together i have known them 20 years...we are 40ish.So are clearly closer having kbown each other forever.
They basically conversed among themselves and left me out of the conversation. I tried to join in but tbh gave up and went on my phone. Aibu to feel a bit put put?

That is really rude.

You know they were rude

YANBU that they were rude. But you shouldn't have gone on your phone, why not just leave?

They were v rude, but so was going on your phone.

Why didn’t you leave, OP? No one can make you feel inferior without your consent! (To quote Ellie Roo)

Going on your phone because people are ignoring is not rude, it’s doormatty.

Yes it is rude. Except for a quick check of messages.

I didn't leave as dp was driving bk. I was being rude...i know that by going on my phone....my response to being ignired and therefore bored.

Didn't you ask why they were being rude and excluding from you the conversation?

OP you came off as a sullen teenager

If always like this - then odd that you continue to be invited and that you continue to accept

If a one off, then perhaps it was just one of those evenings, thoughtless Of then, childish of you.

Either way - I doubt they will be particularly bothered whether you join them (on your phone) again.
