To feel upset friends left me out?

My friend lives on the same road as me and I saw a mutual friend had parked outside her house.

I sent them a text in our group chat saying they should have let me know and I’ll pop in and see them. Text was ignored for three hours and then they messaged back to say sorry they’d only just seen it.

not everyone wants to make every meeting a group meeting, they are allowed to see eachother without you there, Just like im sure you also meet them without the other there surely.

Do you never see the friend who lives on your street without the other friend?

I understand why you might have felt a bit miffed, but it's perfectly fine for friends to meet up separately

You shouldn't have texted -that's a bit much

Are you going to engage with the thread you started @Teamscreen?

People have been pretty blunt in responding to you - but hopefully you can see that this isn’t about you being excluded (a negative thing), it’s about two people doing something absolutely fine and normal, and it’s nothing to do with you.

You should really feel better about the situation, given everyone’s responses on this thread.

Be careful - you’re going to push your friends away, otherwise.

They should have let you know?? Oh dear OP, I’m embarrassed for you. That’s incredibly needy and controlling. That could be why they sometimes meet up without you, sorry.

no wonder they wanted to meet without you if this is how you get on!

Try phoning instead of texting. Texts can so often be misinterpretted.

You are making a lot of assumptions there Murdoch 1949 and Monkeynuts!

I am sorry it made you feel sad, but you friends are allowed to see each other without you, and to maintain a friendship of any depth, you do need one on one time.

Be clear with yourself it’s not about you, and don’t allow yourself to ruminate on it.
