Couple Feels Left Out By Friends, Asks Why And It Backfires

Being excluded from a friend group can be a painful experience, especially when you’re not sure why it’s happening. That’s what one couple (43,f) experienced after years of being close to their friends – or so they thought. Slowly but surely, they found themselves being invited to fewer and fewer events, and eventually realized they were being left out entirely. After some internal debate, they decided to ask their friends why they were being excluded. Unfortunately, the response they received was not what they expected. Instead of an explanation, they were called ‘butthurt’ and told that if their friends didn’t want to hang out with them, they didn’t have to. The situation only got worse from there, with hurt feelings and grudges on both sides. Was this couple wrong to ask why they were being excluded, or were their friends in the wrong for not being more inclusive?

Feeling left out by your friends? Here’s what NOT to do

Being left out by friends can be hurtful, but sometimes it’s just a natural progression as people’s lives change. One couple felt the sting of being excluded from their friend group and decided to confront their friends about it. However, their approach backfired and caused a rift between them and their once-close friends. In this post, we’ll dive into the story of this couple and explore the dos and don’ts of dealing with being excluded by friends. We’ll also take a closer look at how their attempt to address the issue only made things worse. So, before you hit send on that angry message or passive-aggressive reaction, read on for some tips on how to handle feeling left out by your friends.
