Anon, I understand feeling isolated due to chronic health issues, especially after everything the last year threw at pretty much everyone on the planet.

But you said it yourself - your friend group met this other friend at your wedding, and one of them was in your bridal party with her. That is a connection. It's entirely possible they hit it off with her then. Insisting they should go through you instead of interacting normally with a person they met and apparently liked just because you were the original point of contact is inappropriate and possessive. Assuming their not doing so is a sign that they're edging you out when you're also invited to the event they're inviting her to is verging on paranoid.

You need to take a big step back and start extending some good faith towards your friends, or you're going to alienate all of them.

I don't know why I bothered posting this here. I guess at least it was late and I didn't have even more people telling me that my sum up of a social situation they are not personally party to is wrong.

I guess it's not as bad as the thread I posted asking for advice about morning sickness years ago where everyone told me to just get an abortion. Guess everyone would be glad to know I lost the baby and my job in the end.

Really I should have just ended things then. I guess now is just as good a time to do so.

Ah, I see. You're a troll.

Re: Vent

I'm sorry that you feel that way and it sounds like a very frustrating situation. It sounds awful. I hate that kind of friendship anxiety.

At the same time I think that anon does have a point here - it's not necessarily the case that your friends are actually doing this to cut you out of the picture. But that doesn't make dealing with it easier.

Re: Vent

This. If they were trying to cut anon out, they would just... not invite her? I would see this as either they enjoyed what time they spent with Other Friend and want to get to know her better, or they know anon's core group seems to be shrinking and want to not have her choose between get togethers with OF and them, when she can see both together.

It sounds like you were hoping for a certain type of reply. Unfortunately, you can't control replies, much like you can't control who your friends are friends with. And just because they are friends with each other doesn't automatically mean you are no longer a friend to them.

I guess it doesn't matter if I say I understand that's a bitter pill to swallow. My reply doesn't validate your single view that your friends are horrible for closing you out of the group, while invalidating all other interpretations. Note that I didn't say that isn't what is going on, just that, based on the info you have given us, it's possible something else is going on.
