i feel isolated from my friends
i'm in college at the moment and i live with two girls who are on my course.the girls who i live with lived together last year. because of this they seem to get on better together than they do with me. i don't know if it's in my head but at times i do wonder that if i'm not in the room are they talking about me...why am i soo paranoid about the only close friends i have??
i know that they have more things in common with each other than i do with them....they both smoke, both have boyfriends...i just feel quite distant from them. for eg we are all in the same class yet they tend to discuss study problems between themselves while i rarely get involved or asked. if the 3 of us were having a conversation i would occasionally be ignored and the conversation is only in the direction or between the other two. when this happens i feel invisible and left out. .i'm losing the confidence to speak to them as i feel i'm not wanted.
saying all of that when i'm left with one of them everythings fine and i don't feel as invisble but as soon as the other comes along i'm back to being invisible....does anyone else feel the same way or as paranoia got the better of me and left me thinking this way???!!!

It sounds like maybe they do like each other better than either of them likes you and that's ok. Maybe you need to be more involved or decide if the relationship. They probably don't mean any harm by it, just certain ppl are going to get better along with each other than others. They probably don't even realize that you feel left out. Why not try speaking to them as a group about how you feel.

one thing that i realized is that you have to speak with confidence and clearly in the group. try to talk with them more and find some similarities between you guys. or maybe you should find other friends who suit you better.
