Feeling Left Out By Your Friends? 9 Tips to Overcome It

Everyone has felt socially excluded at some point in their life. It can be lonely and painful. There is a reason for this: Being left out can trigger a primal neurological fear of rejection. 

When you’re feeling left out by friends, it’s easy to get in your head about why they haven’t included you. You may even cascade into an emotional drama of distress, insecurity, and self-doubt. 

Luckily, there are a few ways to stay grounded and soothe the pain of being excluded from the group. Here’s how to deal with being left out by friends.

Why Wanting to Be Included is Normal

Humans have an evolutionary need for belonging. Since the earliest Homo sapiens, people have lived as herd animals, reliant on their tribes to protect them from danger.

Contrary to the rugged individualistic assertion that “other people’s opinions don’t matter” or “it’s me against the world,” it is completely normal to want to be in a group.  

Of course, it’s not healthy to morph yourself or pretend to be someone you’re not just for fitting in. But trying to convince yourself that you can get by without social acceptance can sometimes do more harm than good. 

The “Need to Belong” theory asserts that humans absolutely need a social connection to survive. Although many avoidantly attached people may claim to be fine without intimate relationships, friendships are scientifically proven to benefit your life in profound ways:

  • Quality friends improve your health.
  • Friendships are the number one indicator of joy and happiness.
  • Social connections link to longevity. 
  • Sociability reduces your risk of sickness. 
  • Friendship strengthens your self-esteem. 

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be included.

Are you being excluded from your friend groups? Not everyone is straightforward about whether or not they want you around. 

If you notice these subtle signals from your friends, they may be leaving you out: 

  1. They leave quickly without telling you where they are going
  2. They cancel plans with you last minute 
  3. They don’t invite you to their parties or events
  4. They ignore your text messages or don’t return your calls 
  5. They say they’re busy, then post photos on social media or hang out with other people
  6. They avoid discussing a certain event or topic with you
  7. They tell white lies about what they were up to the past weekend 
  8. They provide vague answers like “I’m busy” or “oh, nothing much.”
  9. They have the same excuse every time you want to hang out

What to Do When You Feel Left Out

When you feel like you’re on the outside looking in, sometimes your mind can go to dark places. Social exclusion hurts, but there are a few things you can do to manage your emotions and soften the sting.

#1 Avoid catastrophizing

The psychological phenomenon of catastrophizing explains why people often fabricate situations in their heads that exaggerate the negative parts of a painful experience like rejection. 

Though you may be trying to make sense of your emotions, anxiety and worrisome thoughts can actually lead to more emotional distress.

When you feel left out, it’s important not to think yourself into a black hole of “what ifs” and “whys.” The truth is that you never know what is actually happening in people’s lives.

 

First, consider that your friends may not be purposefully rejecting you. For example, if your colleagues ended up grabbing a drink after work without you, maybe the decision was spontaneous as they were walking out of the office. They may not have intentionally made plans ahead of time that excluded you. 

In other instances, a certain group of people may have forgone inviting you simply because they knew you wouldn’t be interested in the discussion topics or the location they were meeting up:

  • If you’re a vegan and your friends are going to a steakhouse, they likely didn’t want to make you feel uncomfortable by bringing you along.  
  • If a couple of friends are meeting up to have a playdate with their kids or dogs, maybe they didn’t invite you because you don’t have any kids or dogs.
  • If you know that your friends went out for coffee and yoga on Saturday without inviting you, they may have planned it ahead of time, thinking you were busy or uninterested in yoga. 

It’s easy to spiral into thinking “they don’t like me,” “I’m not good enough,” or “they think I’m a weirdo,” but these catastrophic thoughts can be very unproductive for your emotional state. 

Reading too far into a situation doesn’t do anyone any good. Avoid making assumptions about your friends’ motives. 

They didn’t necessarily leave you out because they don’t like you; maybe the situation just arose spontaneously, or they thought you wouldn’t enjoy it anyway.

Studies show that heavy social media use is associated with loneliness. In a world bombarded by the “highlight reel” of other people’s lives, social media can often make you feel like you’re being left out from all the fun others are having.  

Looking at photos of your friends enjoying themselves can elicit feelings of jealousy, rejection, and FOMO. 

If you can discipline yourself to delete a few apps or turn off your phone for a while, you may find that being present in your current reality can bring you more fulfillment than scrolling through other people’s lives. 

Action Tip: When you’re feeling left out of social gatherings, avoid looking at social media for a few days to a week. Delete Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and any other apps you regularly use (don’t worry, your account will still be there when you want to log back in). Instead of checking social media, try to meet people in your city or learn to be more creative.

#3 Distract yourself with new interests

Distracting yourself can be one of the simplest ways to deal with feeling left out. 

Instead of ruminating about what you did wrong or if your friends still like you, you can reframe the experience into something positive. What if being excluded was a blessing in disguise? If you repeatedly hang out with the same people and do the same things, you may not be getting out of your comfort zone as often as you’d like. 

An open night or weekend gives you time to de-stress, relax, and try out new interests that you wouldn’t otherwise explore:

  • Revisit a childhood passion
  • Get lost in someone else’s life for a little while with a fascinating novel or movie
  • Attend a class to learn something new
  • Treat yourself to a self-care day
  • Take a road trip to a nearby city
  • Try out one of these 40 Unique Things to Do When You’re Bored

The world is a big place full of new people to meet and rich experiences. Get out there and try something new to remedy the FOMO (fear of missing out) blues. You’ll have something new to talk about and maybe even make new friends. 

Action Tip: Research shows that social rejection can actually fuel creativity. Try channeling your negative emotions into a creative project such as journaling, drawing, writing, carpentry, or music.

#4 Feel your emotions, don’t suppress them

Studies show that suppressing emotions can lead to more negative mental health outcomes than facing them head-on. 

It’s no surprise that being excluded from social situations can lead to feelings of rejection as psychologically difficult as physical pain. Frankly, it sucks.

If your cousin doesn’t include you in her wedding party or your friends host a get-together without you, it’s OK to be upset about it. 

Instead of suppressing your emotions, try taking time to process and unpack what you’re feeling:

  • Journal about your thoughts: What hurts most about this situation? Does it remind you of an experience of rejection?
  • Practice deep breathing or a guided meditation: Grounding yourself in your breath can help bring the focus away from the external world back into your inner self. Try this 10-minute meditation for dealing with rejection.
  • Take a walk: Notice the small details like shapes of clouds, bird songs, or flowers that are currently blooming. 
  • Listen to music: Music is scientifically proven to reduce stress and improve your mood. 
  • Try exercise or yoga: Getting your sweat on can help you channel your emotion into a physical challenge. 
  • Talk to another trusted friend or family member: Ask someone close to you for a few minutes of their time to allow you to vent and talk through why you feel left out. Be sure to clearly express if you want advice, a pep talk, or just a metaphorical “shoulder to cry on.”  
  • Create an emotion map: An emotion map helps you build a vocabulary to describe your emotions and responses. 

Emotion Map Exercise: The Dalai Lama and Dr. Paul Ekman worked together to create an online tool called the Atlas of Emotions to illuminate your emotional experience and help you navigate through different feelings.

#5 Take yourself out on a date

Spending time alone is correlated with greater confidence, more creativity, higher emotional intelligence, and greater emotional stability in challenging situations.

If you feel left out, it might help to turn inward and focus on your self-love, reflection, and fun experiences you can have on your own. A really fun way to do this is by taking yourself on a date:

  • Get dressed up in your favorite outfit
  • Choose one of your favorite restaurants or try a new cuisine 
  • Bring along a good book, podcast, journal, or sketchbook if you want to do something creative while you eat
  • Celebrate a few things you love about yourself while you enjoy the delicious meal 
  • People-watch or strike up conversations with the wait staff

#6 Check that you clearly expressed your availability

Often getting left out can result from simple miscommunications: 

  • Maybe your friends thought you were too busy with your job to go shopping on a weekday.
  • Perhaps you accidentally texted them the wrong date or time for an event, and they planned something else without you.
  • Maybe you just forgot to confirm a clear “yes” or “no” to an invite.

Action Tip: To avoid being left out, make sure you are clearly communicating when you have free time to hang out. Better yet, create your plans and invite them. Send your friends a quick text on a group chat about an open window of time that you’d like to make plans for.

#7 Openly communicate how you feel

Honest and clear communication is the key to any successful relationship. While it may feel awkward, sometimes the best way to deal with being left out is to express how you feel openly. 

Psychologist and researcher Brene Brown asserts that vulnerability is essential to deepening relationships, so don’t be afraid to open up a bit of your true emotions.

“Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection.” – Brené Brown

When communicating that you’ve been feeling excluded, it’s best to avoid sounding accusatory or attacking:

  • “You should have invited me.”
  • “I thought you cared about me, but you keep leaving me out.” 
  • “You keep ignoring me.”
  • “I invite you to places all the time, but you never invite me.”

Instead, focus on “I” statements that express your experience without projecting your insecurities onto the other person:

  • “Honestly, I felt a little left out when you and the girls went out to dinner last weekend without me.”
  • “I’ve been feeling a bit more distant in our friendship lately. Just wanted to check in to see if you’re doing OK.” 
  • “I miss hanging out with you. Do you want to meet up soon?” 
  • “Sometimes I feel excluded from the family when you do things without me.” 
  • “I noticed that we aren’t hanging out as much anymore. Have I done anything to upset or annoy you?” 

Action Tip: Sometimes, people may exclude you from situations because they feel annoyed by you or awkward in your presence. It may help to do some self-reflection and work on your social skills so that you don’t come across as annoying. This article might help: This is Why People Find You Annoying (& How to Fix It!)

#8 Invite people to do things with you

If no one invited you to the party, have your own! Instead of waiting on others to invite you to social events, create your own sense of belonging by making plans and inviting them. 

The most popular people are known for acting as the “social glue” of their friend circles. They bring people together by…

  • Hosting events
  • Initiating plans
  • Introducing their friends to each other
  • Inviting people to hang out

Next thing you know, people might be asking you if they can tag along with your plans.

#9 Meet new friends

Friends who regularly leave you out of their plans may not be the best friends to have. If you start to  notice signs that your friends are toxic or you have a lot of fake friendships, try redirecting your energy into more fulfilling new relationships.

Making new friends may seem intimidating at first, but there are actually more ways to meet people than ever before:

Why Do My Friends Always Leave Me?

19th July 2019

Do you feel like you never ‘fit in’? That you’re always the outsider, looking in. No one gets to know the real you. How could they? They’d never get it anyway. And what’s the point?  Because everyone who comes into your life leaves you in the end anyway…

Friendships are one of the most important pillars in life. They make up our support system; a sanctuary where we can share the good and the bad, and really feel understood. 

Or at least they should feel like that.

But for some people these kinds of connections don’t come so easy. If you relate to any of the above statements, you might even feel very anxious about your friendships, and hesitant about forming new ones. If you feel like you’re constantly let down by people, what’s the point?

But all humans have the capacity (and need) for friendship. And if this is something you’re struggling with at the moment, then it might point to something deeper.

Why is this happening to me?

What do all the above statement have in common? They are all self-defeating thoughts. But they’re true, you might say. Perhaps all your friends do end up leaving you. 

Here’s the thing: these self-defeating thoughts might be playing a larger part in this than you think.

Let’s take a closer look.

These thoughts or ‘beliefs’ are perhaps best seen through the lens of Schema Therapy. Schemas are essentially coping strategies or beliefs about the world (or ourselves) that we adopt in response to the difficulties we experience in life. Our schemas can be traced all the way back to our experiences in childhood, and they develop according to our how our emotional needs were met – or unmet.

If we grew up in a stable, supportive environment then we’re likely to grow up with a healthy, positive outlook on life. And if we’ve seen good, healthy relationships and friendships around us then we’re probably going to be more adept at recreating something like that when we grow up. 

If, on the other hand, we grew up with a lot of instability around us – whether that be through divorce, the death of a family member, abuse (physical, mental or emotional) or neglect – we’re going to grow up with a very different view of the world.

Let’s start by looking at three of the main schemas that might be contributing to your situation.

You feel like there is something inherently different or wrong with you (defectiveness schema)

If you have the defectiveness schema, you will have an underlying feeling like there’s something inferior, flawed or wrong with you. Even when people tell you what a great person you are, you never believe them. After all, how would they know? They don’t know what you really think or all the terrible things you’ve done.

If you have this schema your thoughts about yourself are likely to be grossly exaggerated.

This schema usually stems from neglect, rejection or abuse in childhood. As children we don’t have the capacity yet to differentiate right from wrong in others and instead internalise negativity, believing that it must be because there’s something wrong with us.

Because you move through life feeling flawed, you probably also feel a lot of shame. You might go to great lengths to keep people from discovering the ‘real’ you because you’re worried that you’ll get ‘found out’. You’ll probably also be especially sensitive to criticism, and suffer social anxiety in groups of people.

You might carry thoughts around like, “I don’t deserve friends” or “If I get too close to them, I’ll be found out and they’ll abandon me”.

But by thinking like this, you will never arrive to a friendship on equal terms. You will always be placing the other person on a higher pedestal. And that means you open the door to being walked over. We set the terms for how we allow people to treat us.

In therapy, healing this schema will come with the realisation that you are not flawed, and that you are worthy of the same love and care that you offer to other people.

You feel like everyone always leaves you (abandonment schema)

If you have the abandonment schema, you will have an overriding sense that no one ever sticks around – that ultimately, everyone always leaves you. Although you yearn for connection, you can’t help but anticipate the worst.

This schema usually develops when a parent or caregiver left when you were young – either literally or figuratively. Maybe a parent died or your parents divorced, which meant that one parent was absent when you were growing up. You carry this fear of being abandoned into your future friendships and relationships.

Always anticipating rejection, you’re likely to behave in a rather erratic fashion. Maybe you become clingy and needy in your friendships – or at the other extreme, you might pull away completely. If you faced a lot of loneliness growing up, you might not fear being alone as such but the risk of losing someone again is simply too much to bear. So perhaps you avoid friendships altogether.

You might also be subconsciously choosing friends that reinforce this belief i.e. people that offer some kind of abandonment potential e.g. someone known to be unreliable or someone headed to university in a different country.

By doing this, you confirm your deepest conviction – that no one ever sticks around for the long haul.

You feel like a “lone wolf”, as though you’re always on the outside of groups looking in (social isolation schema)

If you have the social isolation schema, you’re going to feel like you never fit in because you’re different to other people. You might struggle connecting in social situations because you believe that you are fundamentally separate to other people.

This schema usually stems from having grown up in a family that was somehow different to other families (ethnically, financially etc) or if you moved around a lot growing up and you were always the “new kid on the block”. Because of this, as a child, you will have naturally struggled to form the same level of depth in your friendships. 

But if you always feel like an outsider you’re probably going to act like you are too. Maybe you over-identify with this image of yourself and make a conscious effort to play up your differences. Or perhaps you accept your fate and withdraw into your own private world. Whatever the case, you subconsciously separate yourself from other people which can leave you feeling isolated and alone.

The important thing here is to realise that you are not weird or different. In fact, we’re actually all much more alike than we like to admit. You simply have this conception of yourself because of the experiences you had growing up. When you work to identify where this stems from you will no longer feel this sense of isolation.

What next?

Not everyone is meant to stay in our lives forever. Some friendships naturally grow apart. As the saying goes, friends come into your life either for a reason, a season or a lifetime. 

So let’s start by throwing all the ones that haven’t worked out into the ‘reason’ pile. Why? Because they illuminated this pattern. And that’s the first, most important step. Once you identify the pattern, you have the power to heal it and stop the once and for all.  

The best relationship we will ever have is the one we have with ourselves. Therapy provides a safe, non-judgemental space to work on that relationship and heal the wounds of our past so that they stop dragging us down. When that happens, we start attracting the right kind of people into our life – the ones who show up for us and stick around.

Quotes about friendship with meaning (260 quotes)


What is it?

Friendship is disinterested personal relationships between people based on common hobbies and interests, on mutual respect. This is how Wikipedia describes it.

But I don't feel like talking about friendship in the dry language of explanatory dictionaries. I want to compose poems about true friendship, to sing about it. After all, this is not just mutual trust, affection, spending time together. This is a certain state of mind, an inner connection that unites hearts and souls, a desire to empathize and support each other. Very often, friends have deeper ties than blood relationship.

By and large, friendship is one of the manifestations of love.

What to write, to tell your best friend about friendship, touching to tears, to make her burst into tears?

You are my joy and you are my everything!


How can you thank a friend?

Friendship and words of gratitude to friends

What real friendship consists of

In fact, true friendship cannot be divided into components, squeezed into patterns or frames. It is multifaceted and individual, and in each case has its own system of connections and relationships.

But there are still some fundamental ingredients of friendship. These are:

trust and respect emotional connection and mutual assistance constancy and lack of competition self-sacrifice and honesty cultivation of positive qualities disinterestedness and faith in friendship

Trust

Friendship and trust are like two sides of the same coin, they cannot exist without each other. No wonder trust is considered the basis of strong friendship.

Unfortunately, people do not always trust each other. Sometimes trust flashes like a spark, sometimes it takes years to earn. And only where there is trust, friendship is born. And this fire flares up as long as there is trust.

Friendship darkened by distrust is doomed, because distrust is the first step to betrayal.

True friendship does not require pretense, you can always be yourself with a friend without playing a role and without trying to look better

Respect

It is difficult to imagine two friends, one of which shows disrespect to the other. Such an alliance is not originally a friendship. Disrespect, no matter what it is caused by - envy, resentment or something else - destroys friendship, makes it insincere. An insincere partner most often simply uses the other for his own purposes.

The ability to respect your friend, to accept him as he is, to consider his opinion are important components of strong friendship.

Emotional connection

Friendship is characterized by a special frankness and deep attachment to each other. These are common interests, and the possibility of spiritual communication with a loved one, and the desire to take part in each other's life, whether it be support or wise advice.

The emotional coloring of friendship is multifaceted and varied:

If the ability to rejoice in the successes and achievements of a friend or girlfriend brings satisfaction and a feeling of happiness, this is friendship. If there is a sense of calm and security in a relationship, it is a friendship. If the successes of friends bring joy, this is friendship.

Help

Friendship lives by its unwritten laws. It has no charter or rules. Friends usually, at the behest of their hearts, determine their own measure of responsibility. And this is not only communication or congratulations on your birthday. This is a mutual desire to help each other in difficult situations.

Doesn't it often happen that when help is needed, many turn to friends rather than relatives. And a true friend will always rush to do his best without asking too much.

Only this way and not otherwise - this is required by the unwritten law of friendship.

How to say beautifully “Thank you for friendship” to a friend: text, words of gratitude to a friend for friendship

Variants of words and phrases:

  • Friendship is our treasure. I won't sell it, I won't share it, I won't sell it. Thank you, my friend, that you are always there, that you are always kind to me, as to yourself.

Types of friendship

Friendship can be different - children's, youth and adult, male and female, between a man and a woman.

There are friends who managed to carry friendship through their whole lives: kindergarten, school, university, adult life, maturity. This is a special art, a life gift that is not given to everyone.

Friendship has no age or gender - it unites hearts and kindred spirits. And she herself chooses whom to connect with invisible threads of love and affection

Children's

Touching and naive children's friendship is especially pure. Children are still inexperienced and disinterested, they trust not experience, but children's intuition. Childhood friendships are clear, open, and simple, and often begin with a shared toy, little secret, or game. Growing up begins with childhood friendship, it is like a ticket to adulthood.

Youth

As children grow older, they become more selective in their choice of friends. At school and adolescence, there is a division by gender - boys are more often friends with boys, girls with girls.

Youthful maximalism sharpens the edges of relationships, tempers feelings. Teenagers, as a rule, do not ask questions “Why” or “What for” they are friends - they just feel good together. And even if this friendship ends in childhood, it remains forever in the memory, they remember it all their lives with special awe and tenderness.

Women's

There is an opinion that there is no true female friendship. It's a myth that women are great at making friends. It’s just that the beautiful half lives more with experiences and problems, discusses them in detail and often. Women's friendship can be both long-term and devoted, except when a man stands between the girlfriends.

Male

Someone wise said that there is nothing stronger than male friendship. Many people believe that relationships between men can be long-lasting, and women's unions are temporary and short-term. It just happened historically. In ancient times, men needed friendship in order to survive - it is difficult to fill up a mammoth alone or defend yourself from enemies. Therefore, the strong half of humanity needed not just partnerships, but strong friendship based on trust and confidence that a friend would not betray and would always be able to defend.

So male friendship has its roots in deep antiquity.

Pleasant and grateful words to friends, girlfriends

Comrade or friend

These two concepts are often confused. Sometimes companionship develops into sympathy. They can be the first step in the development of a friendship. A colleague at work, a classmate, a “brother” in arms, in the party can turn out to be a comrade. ...

Not everyone becomes true friends. This concept is much broader and richer. It is impossible to predict friendship in life. There are situations when mutual sympathy arises in the first minutes of communication. But after a certain period of time, you realize that this person is a stranger in spirit and perception. And it happens differently: at the beginning of communication, you exchange meaningless phrases, smiles. And suddenly, like a revelation: this is your man! He is interesting and shares your views. What is invested in the concept of "one's own person"? It's the one that completes you. He provides support. When meeting with him, you feel that you sincerely rejoice at the meeting, when you know that you want to protect him from insults and the vicissitudes of life. True friendship is a precious gift, like a bright and pure diamond.
