3 years ago my childhood friend whom I have known since we were 4, introduced me at her party to her high school friend group. This is a group of 5 people that she went to middle and school with. I did my high school in a different country so in the country where I’m from I don’t have this kind of community. I met great friends at uni but my high school friends live all over the world. I was excited to build a relationship with these people and soon hit it off well particularly with 2 guys in the group. We started hanging out one-one and I also joined their group gatherings. I had a good time and they seemed to be happy to have me. My friendship with one of the guys that I initially hit off with did evolve a bit too quickly. We went on trips together, hung out a lot, spoke a lot and it was really enjoyable but at times it felt things went too quick in this friendship. 2 years into knowing these people, the same guy from the group ‘broke off’ our friendship over text. Stating a bunch of reasons he wasn’t happy with. He then proceeded to create a new group chat with the friend group and left me out of it. He then also asked the people in the group chat for their opinion on how they preferred to hang out. Apparently nobody really understood how to respond to this cause I am also friends with them. People didn’t really seem to want to get involved. However because they had been a group from high school, they for the next year continued to hang out without me. The problem I have is that the friendship with this guy was back to normal 2 weeks after he ‘broke it off’ because he had calmed down and we talked things over. Things were fine again. I expected with things being fine again for us to start hanging out in the group as usual again. But he kept giving vague reasons that he wanted to take things slow, amongst other things. I’m hurt because I feel my childhood friend didn’t stand up for me in the situation nor did the other guy that I was friends with. I told them repeatedly how I felt and it got a point where nobody wants to be involved anymore. I told the problematic guy that it would be best to end the friendship since I didn’t see a way how this would get resolved. He keeps telling me I’m dramatic and that I need to talk to other members of the group. His reasoning: I asked for their preferences so the ball is in their court now. I have a lot of anxiety over losing my childhood friend cause I genuinely love her so much. But it hurts me when they left last year during my birthday on a trip all of them without me. I asked her to invite me and she said it wouldn’t be good cause of the fight me and the other friend had. I didn’t tell her I was hurt about it. Would love to hear some opinions on this situations. Thank you
