Handle drama or being left out in my friend group
Sort out friend-group tension, exclusion, or gossip, and get words for talking to the people involved.
The prompt
Help me deal with a problem in my friend group.
My age and setting: [e.g. "16, high school", "college freshman in a dorm"]
What's happening: [e.g. "left out of plans", "a group chat about me", "two friends fighting and both want me on their side", "rumors"]
Who's involved: [FIRST NAMES OR ROLES, how close I am to each]
How long it's been going on: [TIME]
How I feel: [HURT, ANGRY, CONFUSED, ANXIOUS]
What I want: [fix it / understand what happened / step back / find new friends]
Give me:
1. A calm look at what might be going on, including possibilities I haven't considered, without assuming the worst.
2. Whether to talk to someone directly, and who first.
3. Words for a one-on-one conversation or message that explain how I feel without blaming. Include how to say "I don't want to take sides."
4. What not to do (screenshots, venting in group chats, subtweeting) and why.
5. Ways to widen my circle so I'm not dependent on one group.
6. How to look after my mood while this is going on.
If it involves threats, sharing private photos, repeated bullying online or in person, or I feel unsafe or very low, tell me to talk to a trusted adult, school counselor, or resident advisor, and to contact a crisis line if I'm thinking about hurting myself.
