What to do when your best friend is better friends with someone else

It's hard when your best friends suddenly gets closer to someone else. In fact the whole experience can be quite painful. But it seems like whenever there are three friends, there is always an odd man out. What do you do when you are that person? First, you can't try to get closer to your best friend. He/she will see that you are trying too hard. But what you can do is find other friends. It won't happen overnight, and you don't have to abandon those two pals. Just try to cultivate more friendships, and eventually things will change.

Me and my friends have a group of three. I'm the odd man out :(

My bestfriend became best friends with the new girl and it upsets me because we know each other for so much longer and she is nicer to the new girl than she has ever been to me. we didn't start going to each others houses at the very start but my friend became bff with that new girl in like 9 hours of school. since she walked in the door my best friend is obbsessed with her and she is interducing her to her other friends that she never interduced me to and it maked me mad because we r so alike and she just started ignoring me :( when we were doing sports and teacher said get into teams of 5 she looked straight into my eyes and just looked to the girl beside me and said "You can be on our team" in my mind I was like B*TCH im over here. Same thing happed with my other friends and her bff but know since that happened to her too we r now better friends because the other two hang out with the new girl. sorry for my spelling im just mad and sad :( my brain is dead

I feel like I am always left out...Like my best friends sometimes we are walking on the sidewalk and both of them will go in front of me and talk about the activities they did before and didn't bother to invite me and it hurts I am always behind or a partner assignment and they always go together and I am always left out...

I needed this so much rn. I have been crying so much today because of this exact situation. I feel like the bond between me and my very best friend of 8 years is starting to break bc it seems as though she has found someone better that me. It feels like I’m giving her so much, and I’m getting absolutely nothing back.

"A group of three someone gets left out" im the one left out

[No_name_yet]

It just makes me wanna cry because of how she gets along with these people and she was never like that with me, she even hangs out with them more than I have and I’ve known her longer. Sometimes when we’re on the phone she hangs up on purpose or says something sarcastic or even mumbles something under her breath about me (not good stuff) and she’s my only freind so I can’t let her go because we’re supposed to be best freinds forever 😞

I have 2 bestfriends and they started posting eachother on their story and leaving me out and it's really hard because I've been with them since kindergarten ); they are at a pool party right now and of corse they didn't invite me... in just so mad 😡

[cindychelsea]

And it hurts more when u were the reason why they became friends. And now they ll be laughing and it’s like u don’t even exist anymore..I’ve tried to move on but I still can’t... it’s so painful that I sometimes wanna cry.

I'm in year 8 now, and ever since the very beggining of y7 we've been bestfriends. We'd do everything together, this other girl has stolen my bestfriend and now they're bestsfriends. My 'bestfriend' is having her birthday sleepover right now and as you can guess, I wasn't invited, she was. I feel so betrayed and I have no friends because everyone has bestfriends and friend groups and I'm just lonely please hell

[chahakyeon]

I'm in this situation.. I met a really sweet person, and decided to introduce them to my group of friends, and now the person is closer to another person in our group and they talk everyday and I feel like they got tired of me or something. I hate it when stuff like this happens.. I know they don't hate me but it's like it isn't how it used to me and now the other person seems to be a lot more special in their life than i ever was /-: I'm too afraid to communicate the problem with them but I know it's probably best

My group is 4 and I'm still a third wheel, they always hang out and forget me

[susangreen]

She sounds like she really understands… makes me feel better that others are going through this

[maisylavender]

this happened to me, i became the third wheel. explained how i felt, i ended up pushing the friendship further away because she took the other girls side. didn't say goodbye when she moved, and now she's upset because i didn't take time out of my busy day to come see her and her bff before she left lol. ghosted her ass

[luciedaudelin]

My best friend is so nice to me! She's literally the best! But the problem is that she is starting to hang out with my worst enemy! And I can't tell my best friend to stop hanging out with her because that's mean. But I am just scared that my best friend will leave me and go to this other girl. And i can't just find other friends because there's no one to have. Everyone has one, so if my bestie breaks up with me, I'll be known for the girl with no best friend in school. And that's already happened to me once, and I cried ever day after school. So, I always prepared it's gonna happen again!!😭😭😭😭😭😭 I really need ur help!!!!

[pokefandan]

It's even tougher when both my best friends suddenly bond behind my back and feel envy

[veronicab]

I couldn't possibly relate more to this video ...

[rooshy]

I had this happen to me as a teenager...and is happening again now in my thirties...and it triggers the same emotions. I tell myself: I'm happily married, healthy, a mom, successful, financially stable, have an ok social life without my 'close friends', why should I care? But I do.

[simplychic]

It happened to me.... I was with my best friend for 7 years. And there was a girl that I became friends with. Then I introduced her to my best friend. And then they became friends. So I decided to invite then to my birthday party we all had a good time. Btw we are all in the same dance class. So sometimes when I didn't showed up because of something they would talk. And get closer. And now they share secrets that I can't know about. So since I go to after school my best friend would pick me up and we would walk to dance class together she doesn't to that anymore she walks the other girl and I have to meet them. I did a stupid thing by telling the other girl how I felt about my best friend and how they are getting closer and leaving me out. I told her not to tell her and I would tell her myself. KEYWORD : MYSELF! She told her anyway and now I'm really the odd man out. And so I cried because she had no right to do that....so I told my mom. My mom and my ex best friends mom are best friends UGH!!! And my mom set up a meeting with her best friend and the other girls mom I thought we talked it out but it made things WORSE!! Now they are closer then ever and are best friends. And now they talk about me, and have all my other friends wrapped around their fingers and now my other friends aren't my friends!!! But I still have a lot of friends in school but still. So now my mom best friends birthday is in 2 days!!! And usually my ex best friend would come over to my house if they are going out. Guess what THEY ARE GOING OUT!!! I don't know what to do because when she comes to my house we aren't speaking AT ALL. And on top of the she said she doesn't care that we aren't friends anymore and that she's happy PLZ HELP!
