[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are the excluded one, you aren't as close as you think

You’re right. When I say close, I just mean she was initiating getting together several times a week with me and we talked often. So in my mind we were close but you’re right. Close friends don’t exclude each other in a situation similar to what happened. 1 out of a large group not invited. I’m also seeing now that we were never really friends. I was more of an acquaintance she kept around to get to know others. I’m a little more outgoing and had other friends she was interested in getting to know. [/quote]

Yeah, just get what you can out of the situation in terms of maybe having fun sometimes with the people if you don't have a better option that day, but don't count on them or go out of your way for them either

I know people that sometimes disappoint me, sometimes come by and hang out with the group. We can have some laughs together but I won't expect anything from them or consider them close friends[/quote]

Unfortunately I’ve had to relegate a group of women I thought were really good friends to this role recently. You’re totally right. But it’s still sad. [/quote]

I do see what you’re saying but I don’t even know if she’s worth that. As other PP have said, I would probably be doing myself a favor to cut her off. 100 percent. [/quote]

OK, to sum it up... this woman is malignantly manipulative, mean to others for no reason, wants to be in complete control, will throw her oldest "friend" under the bus (you) to win others over, and basically gives nothing to others except angst and drama.

And why is it you even want to associate with her, let alone call her a friend??? [/quote]
