Ex Friends
Hey.
Last summer, I had the most amazing small group of friends. I've always been the type of person to mingle with different groups of people but I never really had a set group. We all met each other at our job, and things couldn't have gotten any better. We did everything together. However, things gradually worsened. I used to be the type of person that would feel left out if I wasn't included in something.

So one day I got a text message from my best friend (let's call her Carla) in the group and she told me she needed a "break" from me, which I was really shocked to hear. She had told me I'm really mean and that she just needed a "break. " Anyone who knows me knows that I have a very sarcastic sense of humor and I joke with people all the time. I never thought anyone would take offense to that. Carla had also said someone was telling her I was talking behind her back, which I never did. I found out the girl who was telling her this (let's call her Jay) who was part of our group; she had been really close to me too.

I was so shocked to hear that she would make up something like that. Jay never explained to me why she did what she did, same goes with Carla. It eats me away every day that I never had that closure. It's been almost a year and I'm still not over it. Maybe it's because I haven't been as happy as I was when I was friends with them. The people who do know the reason why just tell me that it was a "stupid" reason why they stopped being friends with me. It hurts knowing that they don't miss me at all and Jay has taken my place as being Carla's best friend.

I'm still friends with some of the girls in the group but I don't like talking to them that much because it just reminds me of the whole situation. To this day I have no idea what I did that made them not want to be friends with me anymore. And I just HATE confrontation. I just don't know how to get over it.

Any suggestions?

Try apologizing. They are your friends after all, so nothing to feel ashamed about. Try just ONCE. If it doesn't work, move on. You don't need them in your life anymore. There are so many people out there who could be your new friend!

There are so many funny jokes out there why crack sarcastic jokes? Lighten up and cheer up those around you.

Curb your biting comments, they can hurt. Why not apologise to your friends, put a smile on your face and keep to happy conversation.
