I am in a friend group of three. My two friends go to the same school while I go to a different one. This means that their friend groups get to intertwine and their relationship as friends gets to grow while I remain stagnant. I know it’s just what happens in this kind of situation, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. I feel like I try to put so much energy into them, but I never get the same amount back. I just want to disappear from them. To prove I can live without them despite them being my closest friends. To cause then as much pain as I feel right now. But that’s the thing, they don’t even know. I should really talk to them about it, but I don’t even know how, when would be a good time, etc. so maybe I should just take the easy route instead and cut them out of my life completely and become an even lonelier person. Or if I drown myself in so much work? Then I could cut them out with an excuse.
