[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would question your friend’s part in this. She sees you standing there and yet, doesn’t include you in the conversation either.  The overbearing person is not the only one to blame here. I am confused if you have discussed these dynamics with your friend. After you have clearly made your point, give your friend ONE chance to be assertive. If she can’t do it, walk away.[/quote]

Yes, we have had one real heart to heart 2 years ago about it and I brought it up again but we were on a girls trip when I mentioned it (that her other best friend wasn’t on) and didn’t want to ruin the trip and make it a thing. She mentioned feeling iced out by some other friends and I brought up that my perspective was she isolates herself with “Lisa” because Lisa’s social mannerisms are kind of unfriendly and unwelcoming. I even mentioned a specific large party where I personally didn’t talk to Kate all night because I just didn’t want to deal with it and they really always pair off at anything and as I mentioned this isn’t a once a month thing. I see these people a few times a week all year through kid sports and school events. I don’t think my friend is doing it to be intentionally mean. I just don’t think she realizes how off putting it is. I’ve gotten to the point the last few weeks I don’t even try, it’s not worth it to feel awkward and I have other people to talk to or can stand alone.
