Most of us have been in situations like this before

I’m talking about where we get the cold shoulder from a few of our friends and we suddenly find ourselves on the outside.

It sucks!

The woman who wrote this story on Reddit decided to take action instead of sitting back and now she wants to know if she did anything wrong.

Check out her story and see what you think.

AITA for calling my friends out?

“I (29F) have been feeling excluded lately by my two closest female friends (29F/34F).

My friend Kara and I have been best friends since we were 4.

Kaley and I have been best friends for about 2 years.

We all met Kaley at the same time.

She’s feeling left out.

Anytime I hang with them I feel like I’m the third wheel.

For example, Kaley will always say “I already told Kara about this” or “Kara remember when I messaged you about this”.

Kaley just got a house and she’s always inviting Kara over to see it while it’s being remodeled, but I have to ask if I can see it.

She also will say “Kara do you like the paint I picked” right in front of me and then I have to ask to see her choices.

Or the fact we’re both nurses (me and Kara) but Kaley only texts Kara for nursing advice.

Then if Kara is telling a story between me and her that Kaley was a part of it, she’ll say “OP fill Kaley in now.”

But they don’t do the same for me.

They’re leaving her behind…

They’ll also talk about things they’ve only done together.

They went to a concert and Florida together without me so they’ll say “remember when we went to the best concert ever”.

I just feel like they’re always talking in a separate text exchange and they’re besties while I feel on the outside, like I have to be informed of things they already know about each other all the time.

The last straw was they brought up how they’re gonna go get spray tans together in front of me and I said “can I come?”

And they were like, yeah.

Then I said why do you guys just not invite me places, it hurts my feelings to hear you talk about it in front of me.

Are they gaslighting her?

And they acted dumb and said why would you not be invited.

They have done this to me before where I have to invite myself.

I don’t know if I’m overreacting or it’s all in my head.

They tried to change the subject and looked uncomfortable.

AITA for calling them out for excluding me?”

Here’s what Reddit users had to say.

It’s no fun being the third wheel…

And this girl definitely is.
