    this is kind of a silly problem. I have a good friend, but his friends dont like me. one of the girls in his group started going out with an ex of mine who I had been on friendly terms with, but apparently she took a dislike to me because she felt I had treated the ex badly, he also stopped speaking to me at the same time. I get that he had a new girlfriend, that didnt bother me at all, I was happy for him.

    I havnt spoken to any of my friends friends in over a year, they used to blank me when I said 'hello' and ask him not to invite me places. I even tried contacting one of them to ask what was wrong and she was all but hostile in her responce. It was upsetting to say the least as I dont feel like I'd done anything to any of them.

    Anyway, this is the silly part, the one guy that Im friends with still hangs out with them, which is fine, he has every right to, but I get sad when I see them all hanging out in pictures on facebook, and think I didnt really deserve to be ostracised like that. Its like primary school bullying. I wish I could just hang out with my friend in a normal way and not have to be kept aside from the rest of his friends.

    I wouldn't call it a silly problem, I can certainly see why it would upset you.

    Did you treat your ex "badly"? even though you stayed on friendly terms. If you did I could see how the girl might have told everyone in that group or even put legs on it.

    Anyway, my advice is to leave them off. I know it's rough and it's easy for me to say but take the energy your spending worrying about this and go make some new friends. Join a group or sport club and make sone new friends. Even through boards here has meet ups in different locations about various things.

    If they are trying the bully you the best way to beat them is laugh it off and don't let it bother you.

    Best of luck.
