what are trio friend group dynamics even about? 🥀💔
I feel like trio friend groups are the worst if you're an introvert.
Like as an introvert you don't even have many friends in the first place, so when you find 2 people you vibe with, you think "yeah these two are enough for the rest of my graduation."
Then after some time you start noticing stuff.
Like they talk more to each other, have their own inside jokes, text each other more, and somehow you're always the one getting sandwiched in the middle.
And idk why but eventually you start acting like a clown just to get validation from them. You make jokes, laugh everything off, try to stay relevant in the group, because you're scared of getting left behind.
The worst part is when you start feeling left out, it literally eats you mentally. But you can't even tell them because if you do, they make fun of you or call you sensitive, so now you're just stuck pretending everything is fine.
Maybe I'm overthinking and I'm just cooked, but sometimes it feels like every trio eventually becomes a duo and one extra person.
Anyone else experienced this or am I actually cooked?
