Here’s my story: at first, I only had one friend and didn't know the others. We weren't exactly best friends, but we got along well. Eventually, there were five of us; two aren't really part of our friend group anymore—one of them used to badmouth us—but I want to tell a different story. I didn't mind sharing my friend with others—she doesn't belong to me, after all—and we became a good trio. But lately—around this week, actually—I’ve had the feeling they’re talking behind my back. One of them has even started bullying me. We usually "bully" each other in the group just for fun, but this feels real; they whisper very quietly, and then my friend (the one I knew first) nods. I used to notice the other friend (the one I met later) always walking behind us; I’d slow down so we could walk side-by-side, but she wouldn't do the same. Sometimes I ask if she’s okay because she seems sad, but she never asks me, even though I’m holding so much inside. When I talk to them—like today, when I asked who wanted to play *Among Us*—she just changed the subject. And when she bullies me, I tell her, "I’m starting to feel like this isn't just for fun anymore." She says it’s "not that deep," but for me, it *is* deep. Plus, the other friend (the one I knew first) gets to hug her, but I don't? I just think it’s stupid. I don’t want the friendship to end, though, because I don’t really have other friends. I even switched classes for them—we’re in the same grade, but our school has electives and I had picked something else—and they weren’t even grateful. I had to talk to the teacher so much about it that she hates me now; I only did it for them. I’m always complimenting them, hoping they might like me, but it doesn’t really work. I even give them gifts, but they don’t seem to like me. Sometimes they tell me that nobody likes me, and it feels real. I once joked that ChatGPT likes me, and they said, "Not even that likes you." I’d love to tell them how I feel, but they’d probably just say it’s not that deep. I feel stupid—not because I’m friends with them, but because I can’t make them happy.
