I never do anything fun with my friends.

I have a lot of good friends who tell me all the time how much they trust me and what a good friend I am and how close we are–but then they go and do something cool with each other and leave me out. I used to not care because I’d find out accidentally but now they tell me how much fun they’re having when they go to the movies and have sleepovers and stuff. I try to drop hints that I’d like to be invited to one of these things, but they take them as “oh she’s fine with it”. Please help me find a way to express to them that I would like to be more included!!!!!

instead of waiting for them to ask you you invite them to do something then they will see how fun you are and invite you over

i know how you feel. My friends do this to me too. Maybe you need new ones? Or to tell them how you feel.

acousticlove, I agree with hippie, invite them to do something with you!

or flat out say! That sounds so fun! I wanna go the next time you do that!

to be honest, sometimes we have to learn that we have annoying creepwads for friends.

but put a little out there yourself first. If it doesn’t work, make lots of notes and either come back here or ask your nicer friends about it. Maybe your approach needs work, but maybe they are just not that fun!

I have friends like that– they will at times tell me things they think I’d like to hear. They love talking to me when they have a problem, but they don’t care about me otherwise. Or, if I have a movie or anything or a game that they don’t, they’ll invite me over to see it or have it. Some people are shallow, try to get involved in these things and see if they want to actually spend time with you– if they don’t act kindly, they’re not good friends.

i used to have the same problems when i was younger.
i’d even try to initiate things to do with them and always got turned down.
would you believe i did this from fourth grade all the way THROUGH high school?

finally…. finally, i realized that those were not the kind of people who would bring my spirits up. even though there was nothing necessarily wrong with my friendship with them, they did not bring out the best in me, and they hurt me a lot.
it ended up causing more damage than what i was aware of.

dont dump them completely, because they are you friends, but maybe you should try to find a couple of other crowds to mingle with as well. maybe you’ll end up finding some friends that appreciate your presences as it should be appreciated.
