| Do you ever get the feeling that you are the âfringe friendâ in a social circle? Youâre not quite part of the âcoreâ groupâalthough you may have been at some pointâand these days you feel like more of an afterthought. You may get invited to the big events, but miss out on smaller lunches, and feel out of the loop on the core groupâs day-to-day lives. |
| Feeling excluded can be hurtful and stressful. You end up wondering to yourself: Am I worthy of being a friend? Did I do something wrong? You may also feel pressured to attend every event youâre invited to because it may be your last. Dr. Christie Ferrari shared the pain of being a âfringe friendâ in a recent Instagram post that received millions of views. |
