When my friends said they don't go to the movies just to go there without me. I saw them because I went with my older sister insteadOut-Of-Friend-Group-Realization-Stories
The day I was informed that my presence wasn’t necessary for the annual Christmas party. After I had spent what little money I had made that year into presents for the friends that I thought were supportive of me. I still have the presents.Out-Of-Friend-Group-Realization-Stories
In college I had a group of friends (4 guys and 4 girls, including myself). I realized I was out of the loop when for Christmas all the girls gifted each other a friendship bracelet and I was the only one without one. It was also kind of humiliating since this was during a Christmas party with just the group while we were opening presents in a circle, so the guys noticed as well. At that moment, I realized that even though it hurt, all the pieces started to fit about the girls’ attitudes and interactions with me and I decided I didn’t need people like that in my life. Although it was hurtful, I was more surprised that they could act so petty and childish for being juniors and seniors in college. I just wish I noticed all the red flags earlier since I did consider them as good friends, but at least now I know.

Started getting excluded as I was single, no kids, didn't own a house and liked to travel. My friends wives didn't feel I fit. So made sure I wasn't invited to anything. Apparently I was a bad influence. Friends of 15 years being so easily influenced. Found a new group of friends now. Old ones reached out to me not long ago. Told them to f**k off.Out-Of-Friend-Group-Realization-Stories
My "best friend" moved out of state for college. She came back to visit but told me she was too busy for anything but family. A month later, a mutual friend asked why I wasn't at the party she threw. Every single other person in our friend group was invited. Still not sure why I wasn't. Oh well, she farted a lot anyways.Out-Of-Friend-Group-Realization-Stories
I recently got a message from an old school friend. Apologising for the bullying i received from them and the rest of my circle. I didn't realise i was being bullied. 20 yrs later and i only now find out that the people i though i was closest to at school didn't actually like me. That hurt.Out-Of-Friend-Group-Realization-Stories
Two of my friends ditched me at high school ski club by skiing fast ahead of me intentionally. I ignorantly raced up to rejoin them, only later to realize that they intended to ditch me. I didn't know why it was awkward until later.Out-Of-Friend-Group-Realization-Stories
I suggested a group vacation to the beach. Split a rental for a week... lots of fun. They booked it and didn’t invite me. Burned a little.Out-Of-Friend-Group-Realization-Stories
When they took all the proceeds from the project we had worked on together, and to which I had contributed a great deal of labor, then went to Disney World for a week. Without me.Out-Of-Friend-Group-Realization-Stories
I found messages of them talking s**t about me. Everything I said, did, tried to do was just a damn joke. Wasn’t even looking for the messages, had to borrow a computer they were synced onto. That hurt. We supposedly talked it out which turned into them detailing about how it was all my fault and I forced them to act that way, no apology, nothing. Can’t cut them out as they’re my spouses sibling but yeah. Still haven’t gotten over it.

I remember one Monday in high school I sat down in the cafeteria with my friends and we start talking about how our weekend was. Friend #1 mentions a Will Ferrell movie he saw. I ask if it was funny and he tells me one of the scenes he really liked. Friend #2 chimes in to say "Remember the scene where...?" and recounts another hilarious moment. They both laugh in agreement. "Oh, you saw the movie, too?" I ask and friend #2 confirms. Then friend #3 says: "And remember when friend #4 threw up from food poisoning!" and everyone laughs -- including friend #4, who had no shame. That's when I realized: they all went together and I was never invited. Unfortunately, I developed quite a bit of shame.

When email was starting to become a thing, my classmates and I were having lunch and a bunch of them were excitedly exchanging emails. When I asked one of them to give me hers, she said: “Why do you need it? We see each other everyday.” She gave it to everyone else. S**t hurt.Show All 39 Upvotes
