I feel left out of my friend's new group

[kingcloud12]

Yeah, yeah you've heard it all before. Friend finds new friends, old, "less popular" friend is snubbed which concludes in old friend becoming no friend. Or thats how I think it'ss gonna turn out.
Recently my 2 friends suddenly became friends with 2 boys who are, in their eyes, "popular" (note the use of inverted commas). Soon after this they all started going out together, without asking me to join them, and then it resorted to them all goin round my friends and drinking, unknowningly rubbing it my face as they talked to me on MSN as they were getting "wrecked". :fmad:
I talked to my friend last nite, asking her wht she was doing and wen she replied "sorting out tomoz nite, a big piss up" and then blatently not inviting me it was the final straw. I dont no wot to do. I want to be with them but i cant ask to join, mostly its my pride that stops me,but really they should be asking in the first place, not needing me to ask. Im so jealous and angry at myself, and them.
But unitl then il jus pretend to be happy with wot they do. Someone advise me.

Sounds like your friends don't deserve you. You were their friend before and even though they find new friends, they should exclude you and treat you like the way you are being treated.
Maybe you just need to stay away from them since you don't like the way they are acting and find friends that will respect you for you.
Good luck, hopefully your friends will come to their senses and realize the friendship they lost with you because of their actions.

Yes, perhaps they're being selfish and inconsiderate. They may also be so caught up in the fun of their new friendships and popularity that they don't even realize you're feeling left out. Should they realize this? Well, yeah, maybe they should. But people aren't mind readers. How can you expect them to know how you feel if you don't tell them? Maybe they even think you don't want to join in, since you haven't said anything.

You CAN ask to join. You can't change them, but you can change your own actions. If you want to be included, say so. Invite them out to do something. When you find out their plans, ask, "Mind if I come along?" If they repeatedly snub you after YOU make the effort to hang out, then maybe there's your answer, but you can't just sit around waiting for THEM to change.
