Why are my friends doing this? :(?

Okay so, I have a few friends and lately they have been like...leaving me out on things. Last week my one friends invited 3 people over to her house for a sleepover thing and she did it again this week, without inviting me. I feel extremely left out and kind of sad. I know I seem kind of selfish and all but the thing that annoys me the most is she posts about how much fun she is having with everyone else and such. I just feel like I'm nonexistent to my group of friends. Plus all week at school her and my one friend kind of left me out there too.

Why are they doing this? Or am I just being too selfish or something? I'm just kind of sad about how they don't talk to me like they used to.

Please help I'm really upset and confused about this situation. :( Please only serious answers...

    Seems like something happened to cause this sudden change. But you don't know what it is. So..it's time you called your friend who had the sleepover and ask if you could come over or meet with her somewhere. Then, you're going to have to just come out with it and ask if she's mad at you for some reason and if so, why? Ask if you did or said something to hurt her feelings? Because you feel really hurt that you weren't invited over and seem to be excluded from the group.

    You just have to put your concerns out there and hopefully get some answers. I'd do it as soon as possible so you're not so stressed any longer than you need to be. Take any criticism in stride if needed and really listen to what she has to say if she's able to be honest.

    This is really an unfortunate situation No Name and I'm sorry that this is happening to you. I understand your confusion and unhappiness and hope to ease it with a few warm words of advice.

    I don't believe that your friends are leaving you out of things on purpose (and if they are then they are not good friends) this is just part of growing older. You cannot die with the same friends that you started your life with (I mean you can but it just doesn't happen very often and that's just the way it is). People change, I'm sure you've realized that your not the same little girl you were when you were a toddler, or even in middle school (if you've already graduated middle school). It's not so much of a vengeful malicious thing (meaning the dilemma of your friends excluding you) as a slowly growing apart because you have different interests thing. I know that the thought of loosing your friends is not a very pleasant thing to think about but it (to be blunt) is a part of life, and you will loose many, many friends as well as gain many many more throughout your life. Your friends now may simply have realized that you don't enjoy the same activities as they do anymore and are trying to slowly separate from you so that you all can find new friends that have more similar tastes.

    I have noticed that for almost every friend I have lost I have gained another that I was even closer to. I don't enjoy loosing the people that I was once so close with, but you have to accept that they are a part of your past, and will always be a part of your fonder and sometimes not so fond memories. There is no need to gripe in the darkness when it is so warm in the light. It's time to start looking into the future and finding people who are more like you or going back to old friends that you have forgotten and re-establishing former connections with them.

    But whether you choose to confront your friends, leave them, or stand by them I am positive that you will make this choice again at least a hundred-and-one times with in your lifetime so you have a hundred-and-one more times to get it right. :]

    It's a normal reaction for you to be sad. We all feel sad when we're left out. The best thing you can do is invite them all somewhere sometime and show them that you're better than them and you're just that nice. This will make them feel guilty and kind of alert about how they're missing the awesome you and the fun you bring in when you're around ;D

    Don't feel bad and don't chase anybody, just show them you're fun to be around, that you're awesome and you deserve to be in their plans and not be left out! <3

    It sounds like your other friends are attention whores who lack loyalty and the traits of true friends.

    Maybe they are upset with you about something. If not, just pick yourself up and keep doing what you do.

    Go and watch that movie "Mean girls"...your friends sound just like Regina George.

    Friends are disposable and mostly unnecessary. If they are hurting you, just throw them away and get new ones.
