[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I know what you mean.

I am thinking of one friend I had for a long time who was like this. She was not socially successful in high school but managed to become more of a "popular" type in high school and beyond. Inside I think she was still insecure and gossiped quite a bit. I was her friend in high school and beyond.

I felt that way in groups around her. First, I think because I had been one of the nerds in high school with her, she didn't value me as much as her more "popular" type friends. I think maybe she was worried I wouldn't be cool enough in groups (I am perfectly socially ept but not super fashionable etc). I think she also took me for granted because we were such long standing friends, she prioritized her "cooler" friends when we were all out. I think I kind of was this reminder that she wasn't always cool. Something about being around her in a group left me feeling awkward even though I don't think I outwardly was.

Now, this could also be issues you have within you. Like, my older siblings were critical and exclusive towards me. So it was probably a mix of my own issues and my friend's behavior leading to my feelings.[/quote]

typo - she managed to be more of a popular type in college, not high school.[/quote]
