What Do I Do When My Friends Leave Me Out?

We are glad that you found our service to reach out to for support. It sounds like your friends are very important to you and you want to feel included, that is understandable. How long has this been happening? Sometimes our friends do not realize that they have left us out and we need to say something to them so they think about it. Something to try is talking to your friends about what they are doing and how it makes you feel. Focus on telling them how you feel, not telling them what they are doing wrong. Start with "I am feeling sad because I feel left out."

You can also look at our friendship tips page and see if there is anything helpful: Friendship. Feel free to reach back out if you have more questions about this. We are glad to help you in any way that we can.

Sincerely,

Brianna, Crisis Counselor
