Life as the Least Favorite Friend
If you’re having life as a least-liked friend in your circle, you may feel like everyone favors each other over you. It feels as if you’re isolated or an outcast when you’re together. If that’s the case, welcome the club of the least favorite tropa!
Friends are people who have similar interests to us. You can count on them to cheer you on through the rough patches and to be there to share in your victories. Having a small group of trusted friends who will always be there for you, no matter what is priceless. They are the family that we have chosen for ourselves.
But, there are some instances when a circle of friends has someone like a forgotten friend. The one who is always left behind. Sad as it may be, things like these really occur in the real world. And I should know; I’ve been there myself…
Life as the least favorite Friend
You’re never heard by your friends.
Probably when you are the least favorite in your circle, you are most likely to feel like no one wants to hear what you have to say. If you open out to them about your thoughts or struggles, they are more likely to slash you. And their typical responses are apathetic shrugs and a rapid shift in the conversation’s attention back to themselves.
You will feel like an outcast in your group
Feeling like a complete outsider is a common experience. Sometimes they will discuss something that only you are unaware of. Also, you’ll probably find out they’re going on a trip or having a night out without you. Or, they might tell you that they just forgot to tap you.
Furthermore, you will also realize how you are trying to change yourself just to fit in with them.
You’ll always end up questioning yourself.
Being the least favorite friend, you will always end up asking yourself “what’s wrong with you?” And with this line of thinking, you may develop a lack of self-confidence. It’s also possible that this will make you feel devalued and worthless.
True friends not only support us as we grow, but they also inspire us to be better versions of ourselves. So, if you ever feel like you’re not growing with your current network of friends, I urge you to reflect.
Know your worth. You should be treated with the same respect and consideration that you give to others.
