Honestly this has been happening to me since the beginning of school last year. So, two years now, but I just kept it in and I never wanted to tell anyone.

But I feel like a lot of my friends just use me as a back up friend. For example they’ll hang out with me only when their other friends aren’t around or if they need help with homework (and by help, I mean, me giving them the answers; cheating), especially this one person, Logan, who always ditches me once his other friend, Cassie comes along. One time he even went with me to the mall and after we went to a play at my school. We were supposed to take him home but when he saw cassie, he completely ditched me and said he’d go home with her. My mom noticed that too and I tried to cover it up by saying he had a crush on her since I felt kind of embarrassed (but he’s not interested in girls…)

And then there are other people too. But they all deny it. I cried at school two days ago because it was so much worse. They always ditch me too. I have a group of people I hang out with in gym, and after gym, they’ll all change and then wait for each other to finish, but they never wait for me. The only time I get someone to walk with is when they’re running late and they have no one else but me. I always feel so unwanted and everything. It wasn’t like this two years ago.

So yeah.. what should I do’ I have a few friends that are good and actually don’t ditch me and actually care if I’m sad, like one that invited me to hang out with her instead, but she’s in the more ‘smart’ group and I feel like her group of friends don’t like me very much. And everyone else in a different lunch period and I have no classes with them.

My best friend from my old school/town barely talks to me now too and I feel like she’s replaced me with this other girl at her school. Almost always when I ask her if she wants to hang out, she can’t because she already has plans with her other friend, even on my birthday she didn’t come because she was going to hang out with her. And we used to talk everyday, then it became once every week, then it became like, once or twice a month, and I’m the one that has to call her. And we had even talked so much about being best friends forever since we met in 2nd grade and all that even if we didn’t live near each other, but now she never mentions it, as if I’ve been bumped down to her 3rd best friend or even lower, when we used to be each other’s 1st best friend. I feel like I’m losing so much friends now… what should I do’ I feel like everyone thinks I’m annoying and no one wants to hang out with me.
I don’t know if I need to change… I’ve been the same as two years ago when I had a set of friends that was actually nice and waited for me and didn’t ignore me.

And I try to tell them that it’s not fun being the one to be left behind, but they never listen to me. Either they literally don’t listen, or they deny it. And then when THEY get left behind and ignored, they go on and cry, cry, cry, getting all the attention in the world and then a bunch of people surround them and say “Awww what’s wrong’ *hug, hug*” and then they’ll be all, “You guys keep ignoring me!! *sniff sniff*” then they all makeup while I’m sitting there, being ignored.

And to the first answerer, I swear, he is gay. Someone once invited him to the mall, and she said “Let’s go check out hot guys!” and he said, “YEAH!” then he tried to cover it up and say, “Wait, what’ Ew no!” And that’s not the only sign.
