[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it's nothing more than 2 women being catty. You all just happen to be sisters. There's 3 of you, one of you is going to be/feel excluded. And it's you. They have more in common. they just do. Even if there wasn't judging going on. Sorry. They aren't your friends. Accept. And enjoy your other friends[/quote]

It’s unfortunate but they are bonding over gossiping and judging you. Either ignore it or be more open and vulnerable about your struggles too. Your real struggles, not just something superficial. I get the feeling that you portray life as being all roses around them (maybe it is and that’s wonderful for you)! But as we age, most folks experience real issues. And that can make you more relatable. [/quote]

Don’t do this, OP; don’t change for people who are deliberately unkind to you. I strongly dislike the dynamic of women only liking other women who show vulnerability and imperfection at all times. Some of us are genuinely more optimistic and/or private with our struggles, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I’m tired of the pressure to be more “real” to people who don’t accept me for who I am, who judge me for being different, and who apparently watch and monitor me very closely, hoping to find fault. No thanks. I don’t need to change myself in order for people to find me more “relatable.” I have friends and family who relate to me just fine for who I am and the time it takes me to feel comfortable sharing the deep stuff, even if it’s longer than they might take themselves.[/quote]
