Advice in friendships

[josefina]

What do you do when a friend (in your best friend group) never ever compliments you or shows interest in you or your life, but does so more often with the others?
Or when you're always there for them, but they don't notice?
I needed to get that off my chest, thank you.

i would confront them and say like “im trying to be your friend but it seems you dont feel the same way for me. can we try to get over this?” (it doesnt have to be those exact words but hopefully you get the gist) hope this helps :D

Just be honest about it.❤️

Tell them how you feel

Honestly, not everybody's going to vibe with you or like you (same friend group or not) and that's absolutely fine so if it were me, I wouldn't confront. I'd just let it go. But again it's your call! If you think you'll feel better after confronting then go ahead <3

hmm i kinda had a similar situation and i did talk to her about it, she understood my feelings and we became much better friends after that, so yes i’d say talk to them. they might not even realize they’re doing it

I agree: communication is key! It takes a lot of courage to be honest and air out your problems, and when you do share whats on your mind its because you want to better the friendship.

It all depends on how they respond though. People arent very good at hearing what they arent quite getting right so its less about what they say after and more what they choose to do.

If they are unreceptive or blow up then maybe they arent someone you want in your life- and good riddance as people worth having around wont do that! But if they start being a more responsive friend then yay thats the friendship saved!

You mentioned being in a friend group- Ive always found them to be messy. It might be hard but try and branch out to other people. You dont have to leave them behind at all but Ive often found friendship groups "follow the leader" instead of trying to maintain a friendship with all members.

Hope it works out okay <3

Thanks, guys😭🤍. I just saw everything. At one point, I did talk to one of them and shared how I felt, but maybe we just don’t vibe anymore (or i need something else). I’m not sure. We’ve got a lot of history, many years together, but I don’t think I feel the same way anymore. Not because I don’t love them, because I do, but sometimes it's not enough.
