Today, I overheard a large group of my friends and acquaintances making spontaneous plans to go see a movie that afternoon. I was the only person not invited. Normally I would have believed their excuse that they thought I was "sick at home", except I was sitting a few feet away the entire time. FML
ifeelsoloved tells us more.
I didn't have enough room to tell the full story, but yeah... I'm pretty shy :/ I can talk to strangers and people fine and introduce myself to people, and I like to think I'm a nice person to be around, but I hate "inconvieniencing people" so I was scared to go over and ask if I could come too cause I thought my presence would make things awkward and ruin it for everyone... yeah. My parents got mad at me too when I told them, but I'm just really socially awkward so that happens a lot. Also, they're just a really close group of friends with all the same classes, etc and I'm just sort of that weird outlier lol. Most of the people in the group were acquiantances who I talked to occasionally but weren't very close to, though there were a couple of friends I was closer with a couple years ago when neither of us really had friends then I am now. And honestly, those "friends" definitely use me and take more than they give; they come to me for a shoulder to cry on and a secret-keeper to rant to but don't really talk to me otherwise... I'm the last resort :( I definitely recognize that they aren't he healthiest relationships, and I would disassociate myself from them altogether, but I honestly don't have anyone else ;-; Better to have half-friends than no one, reputation wise... Plus, I'm transferring to a new school this year so yay for fresh starts! I'm just staying optimistic that I'll find some... more faithful friends I guess. Thank you to the people who posted nice messages, I honestly needed that :)

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

Why do you call them your friends?

I would find different friends and a different activity rather than be with a bunch of "fake friends" who don't talk about you behind your back and you be more better off than other people.

Friends are not those, whom we talk to regularly but who feel for us. Good luck on finding those friends OP.

It is always someone else's fault. Nobody admits that his friends doesn't invite him because he is a moron or as heavy as an anvil.

If that was the case, the mature thing for them to do would have been to confront him in a respectful and kind way, not to make silly excuses.

I guess it's time for you to go to the same with somebody else and "accidentally" run into them there.

If you were close enough to hear why didn't you pipe up and say something OP?

You should go to the movies with another group of friends, show them you don't need them

It may be time that you find some new friends. Clearly the ones you have now are a bunch of assholes.

Meh, it's just a movie. You guys will talk for 15min before, 30min after, and be silent the whole time through. On the other hand, were you actually in the conversation when they thought it up? There must have been a reason that they decided to go see the movie with each other. Friends don't need to do everything together, always.
