Thank you for creating this space! I've been holding onto something for a while, unsure of how to share it without judgment. Here goes...

I've always felt like an outsider in my friend group. We're close, we have fun together, but I often feel like they don't truly understand me. It's hard because they're all so similar - same interests, hobbies, even political views - and I'm a bit different. While they're loud and outgoing, I'm more reserved and introverted. Their hobbies are adventurous and extravagant, while I enjoy quiet nights in with a book.

I often feel left out because they don't invite me to all their plans, assuming I'm not interested. It's not that I'm not interested; I just have different preferences. I love them, but I often wish they'd understand that just because I'm quiet, it doesn't mean I want to be left out. I want them to invite me along and include me in the things they do - I'm willing to step outside of my comfort zone, too!

It's reassuring to know this space exists where I can share these feelings without fear. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing others' stories too. There's comfort in knowing we're not alone in our experiences.

I felt a similar way about my friend group in the past - it's hard when you love them but feel left out. I found the key was communication: I explained to them that while I enjoyed our different dynamics, I sometimes felt left out of the loop.

It's great that you're willing to step outside your comfort zone too; maybe try suggesting an activity you'd enjoy, something low-key, and see how they react. A board game night, a picnic, or a movie marathon are good places to start! Show them that you're keen to be involved.

It's definitely a two-way street - while they should put effort into including you, you're taking the first steps to meet in the middle and that's awesome.

Hopefully, they'll understand and make some efforts towards including you more. If not, at least you've expressed yourself and can continue to focus on enjoying the good parts of your dynamic! It's a judgment-free comfort to know we can speak up and be heard.

Great advice! I'm going to take this on board and suggest something low-key like a movie night. It's a good opportunity to enjoy an activity and also gauge their reactions and willingness to include me more.

I'm glad this thread exists - it's reassuring to know others have similar experiences and that we can share ways to approach the situation.

I think a movie night is a brilliant idea! A relaxed setting like that really takes the pressure off and it's a good way to see how they feel about you spending more time with them.
