I don't know if I have true friends anymore.
70% Normal
12 Comments

A couple of days ago one of my friends had a birthday party and invited another one of my friends but I wasn't invited. At first I just shook it off but then another one of my friends threw a party and invited people that she wasn't even that close to and I still wasn't invited. It made me start thinking if I had true friends. I always seem to be the odd one in the bunch and my friends don't tell me anything about them. They never help me with my problems and I feel like they just use me. I'm not sure if I have friends or they just feel bad for me and think I'm weird. I don't know if there's something wrong with me or it's all in my head. This has gotten me very depressed and I never have anyone to talk to about this stuff, I'm really confused.
Do you think it's normal?

That is strange that they both didn't invite you, maybe they forgot, or maybee you have said something to one of them or someone in the group is spreading rumors and they are blowing you out. try blowing them out a bit and find some more friends....

Somehow it seems pretty obvious that they didn't really care about how you feel.
You should try talking to them. maybe they have their own reasons.
friends are supposed to bring you happiness most of the time, not make you gloomy and anxious.

Well that does suck. Don't blame yourself. Seems you are part of a group, but not as close to these guys as you thought.

You could let the party throwers know that you felt left out. Nothing to loose. Or maybe its enough to learn where they stand.

In a way the disappointment is good. It means you expect to be treated better and to not be taken for granted. Hang onto that. Who in this group, or elsewhere, can you start cultivating better friendships with?

I once read this quote and it said "forget those who forget about you"

Do you smell or anything? Just try to be clean, helpful, and an enjoyable person to be around, think of yourself in their shoes, would you be your friend?

That happened to me! But I ended up moving colleges and having to see a psychologist... They accused me of making up fake friends to try not to look unpopular, and they even ended up getting people to send me death threats! I spent a whole year alone and didn't think I fitted anywhere. and now I realise all you have to do is try and socialise with other people, once you're out of a very close group for a while, it can feel great. So try and get to know some other people and see if your feelings change :)

Well you sound young. Which in this case, the best advice unfortunately is no good to you. What you should do is pull one or the other if these girls aside and ask them what's really up.
What is it about you that they are beginning to shun you. Is it because your selfish, you always have bad breath? you cling onto them? have no independency? flirt with their boyfriends?
And if your friends were actually mature, they could answer you honestly. Then you could fix whats wrong, or realize they are idiots and don't deserve you.
But since your young..your friends probably won't just give you the answer you need to hear. They will make something up, or tell you there is nothing wrong.
