[quote=Anonymous]Okay so I've read through, and I don't think you're at fault OP.

I'm the left out one. I have always been. I'm introverted and anxious.

You've made a reasonable effort, by inviting her places, taking her places, mentioning her to the group when planning events.  It's nice of you to do these things and to facilitate conversations at events like  " 's into photography as well or whatever. to help break the ice.   However, Yiu can't be her baby sitter.

She can't expect you to make friends for her. She's got to do some work herself. In reality, she needs therapy to deal with her anxiety and insecurity. I've been there.

You can set some boundaries to help her.  Such as she needs to address her issues directly to those people. You can't invite her to other people's events. You can bring her to the party, but you're staying until it's done so she'll have to find other arrangments home if she wants to leave early

My other bit of advice is because I've been there too is to really evaluate this group of friends and how inclusive and nice they truly are.  If you all really are welcoming and want to know her I suggest maybe a more  hands-on activity like bowling or something.[/quote]
