“I know you and Claire have been hanging out a lot and I miss spending time with you guys! Could you include me in your plans more? We could go get a pizza tomorrow or something.” “I don’t think you’re doing this on purpose, but it feels like you’re spending more and more time with Allie and ignoring me, even though all three of us are friends. What’s going on?” “You guys have been kind of clique-y lately and it’s been making me feel left out. Is everything OK between us?” “I’m glad you and Erin are getting along so well, but it’s feeling like you’re leaving me out on purpose. Is that what’s happening?” “Is there a reason you haven’t been inviting me to hang out with you guys? It’s making me feel really hurt.” “I’m not sure if you’re meaning to do this or not, but I’m getting left out of a lot of our plans and I don’t know why. Can you tell me what’s going on?”
