I don't get why my guy friend constantly mentions his plans with his friend group in front of me when I'm not invited. His friend group knows who I am and I used to hang out with them a few summers ago before one of their other friends who I don't know joined and my guy friend's friend got a gf and they basically stopped asking me to hang out with them. At first, I wasn't very bothered by it until my guy friend started bringing up their plans with me and saying if I wanted to come just ask, but I feel like it's awkward because they don't tell me their plans and I feel awkward just inviting myself or asking them if I could go to since I feel like if they didn't invite me, they obviously didn't want me there. My guy friend and I used to do stuff for holidays like 4th of july, halloween, and christmas but for the past few years, he's always with them on those days even if he tells me months in advance that we could do something that day. He sometimes even tells me they have plans for 4th of july or halloween and then, say stuff like "We could aways hang out during next year's" but it never ends up happening. I haven't talked to him about it since I don't want to feel like I'm attention seeking or needy but it kinda hurts. I don't mind him hanging out with them but it just bothers me that he always mentions their plans in front of me when I'm not invited or cancels our already-made plans to hang out with them.
Like I've said it before and I'm saying this again, communication is essential. Tell him what's been bothering you. If he shows you that he doesn't want to change, you have to break off your friendship.
@KidDJ I feel like bringing this up to him is just awkward and makes me feel like I’m needy or something.
