[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're right to move on. And you're fortunate to have additional friend groups. Many do not. I do think it's sad that you decided you didn't "like" two people in the group and for some reason made it known. It's totally fine to decide that out of 40 people there are two you don't really care for, but why talk about it, thus creating a situation where people feel the need to pick sides? Lesson learned, I hope. The good old "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" applies. [/quote]

Hmm, don't know that I agree with this. It really depends why OP didn't like them. If it was because they wore the wrong clothes or didn't have as much money or even that she just didn't like innocuous aspects of their personalities, yes, I agree with you. But if it was because they were rude or gossipy or racist or elitist? Then I don't think OP has some duty to silently endure that. I've been in that situation before and I actually do think people should have to pick sides when members of a group are doing harmful things to other people, both in and out of the group. It's okay to have some standards for the people in your social circle. [/quote]
