Friends always talk about me behind my back?

It's kind of a strange thing. So I have very few friends, and the friends I have aren't all that close, especially as of recent.

Whenever I hang out with them, they ask me to leave so they can talk about something private, and admit it's about me.

This is really confusing to me. If they have something to say about me, WI wish they'd just say it to my face instead. What can I do about them doing this?

    Making close friends is hard, and this one's a toughy, but are you sure they're really your friends? If they're constantly talking about you behind your back it honestly doesn't sound like they are.

    Considering they are all what you'd say is a friend, ask them something like this:

    You know what, if you have something to say about me, then just say it. At least have the courage to say these things in front of me, and if you wouldn't say it in front of me then why bother saying it at all? The ability to spread hate around isn't what I want in a friend. Does doing that benefit you? Please, either stop doing that or go be friends with somebody else.

    Even if they're your only friends, quality is better than quantity. If you could buy three packages of rotten fruits or one package of fresh and ripe ones, which would you choose? Hope this helped you, sorry if it didn't.

    Don't call them friends, and don't hang out with them anymore. Others can be found who will BE friends with you.
