Should I just move on and stop the friendship and don't look back? I'm feeling left out in my...

Sounds like you are changing and possibly they feel the shift and have a hard time accepting your growth. Maybe pull back and start learning more about yourself. I'm going through a similar thing and it hurts. Maybe you're being protected even though it might not feel like it. I've been battling this for a year or so now. But recently I've been meeting new people who align with my values. Try to let it go and find what aligns with your spirit.

Sounds like they are sticking pins in your eyes & when you stick up for yourself they act like the victim's. Move on join another group local to your area. You could maybe keep contact with the one that seemed to understand but she may be loyal to the other one. So sorry you had to experience the isolation and feel rejection. Not nice people to call friends x

Yes!!! You deserve better and will find real friends. If they reach out , be cordial, just remember and don’t confide in them any more.
I’m sorry to hear you were hurt

I’m sorry they treated you that way. Why wouldn’t they have just invited you? I can’t stand when people exclude friends like that.

It's always better to cool down, sometimes people need space and adjustments. Maybe in future they will call you again. If not , don't think that something is wrong with you, just accept it and move on..

Read the room and move on. Real friends don't do things like that. I wouldn't want to be associated with people like that.

Give it some time. Don't burn any bridges over it. I know it sucks getting ditched, but people who are able to do such things already don't have a problem with it. No matter how much you drive your point home, they will resist and still see you at fault.

Just give it time and it will work itself out for the better.

Here's what I would do. Don't necessarily say goodbye to them, but do stop hanging out with them for a while. If any of them are the types who call you to invite you to do stuff with the group, just casually decline, say you're busy. If you're the one who has to do the inviting, well, I think we know what's going to happen next.

Eventually, after you turn down a couple of invitations to hang, they'll either get the message that you're upset and try to make things right, or they won't. That will tell you whether these people are worthy of being your friends.

You definitely deserve much better than a group of friends who make you appear as the villain when the truth is that you were the one who was wronged.

I would move on without them. No one needs people like that in their lives.

For whatever reason, you're the fifth wheel.Move on, develop, or join another group of friends.

If these are friends you have had for a while I would put it behind you and give them another chance. Letting one bad evening ruin a long friendship is a bad idea.
