This sounds tough! And it's a thing that can happen in lots of friendships, not just fandom.

It's hard to say without knowing about the situation (how close you are geographically, for instance, or what other interests you have in common) -- but maybe there is a way to stay to each of the members of the group (or just one to start with, if that makes it easier), "I feel like we don't get enough time to talk one-on-one when we're all together as a group" -- and make plans to hang out (or, if that's not realistic) to chat or talk on the phone individually. If you need a place to start, maybe there's an outside-of-your-fandom interest that you've heard one of your friends mention and you can say, "You mentioned X and I've always wanted to know more about that, can we (email/chat/talk on the phone) about it?" Most people -- particularly fandom people -- are happy to talk about the things that they're interested in to someone who has expressed enthusiasm about it.

tl;dr -- basically, it's natural to feel insecure when your friends share relationships that you aren't part of, and it's okay to take initiative to strengthen those friendships without being a traitor to the group.

Good luck!
