Is it normal to rarely hang out with your best friend?

4 Comments

I have this best friend who is really popular and is always hanging out with people. Sometimes, we'll make plans and he'll bail out on me the day of to go hang out with them instead. He hangs out with them 3-4 times a week and we usually only hang out once or twice a month. Somtimes it really hurts but I don't want to say anything to him about it for fear that it'll hurt our friendship.

Should I tell him how I feel or just let it be? He may not even know how close I feel to him as a friend, I'm not really sure.

    I think you should let him know. And to be quite frank with you, I don't see why you would want a friendship with this guy when he's canceled your plans to hang with someone else on more then one occasion. It almost sounds as though he's putting you on the back burner, and uses you when he has nobody else.

    I wouldn't want a friend like that. Seriously, you shouldn't let someone "own" you like that. Maybe it's time you rethink what he's doing, and reconsider calling him your "best friend". You might consider him a best friend, but it seems like he doesn't consider you a best friend. And I think it's really sad that he's doing this to you. You're probably a good person who doesn't deserve that nonsense. Please find a new friend. You aren't an object that can be tossed around the way he's tossing you.

    U should tell him but say it in a kinda joking way. That's how I say things when broaching a bit of a touchy subject.

    If you ask me, this person doesn't seem to think of you as his best friend.

    It's easy to get so caught up in something that you don't even realize that what you're doing is wrong. Let him know, maybe he doesn't even realize that he's hurting your relationship.
