My friends have made a voting board today. We had to pick our favorite person in the friend group. We are a friend group of six. Only two of us voted. And one of them was my best friend in the whole friend group. She picked someone else. She has been ignoring me and not paying attention. She has been mad at me for the stupidest reason. What do I do?
Hey there, thanks for reaching out. It sounds like you're going through a really tough time with your friend group right now 😔
Voting on favourite people in a friend group can be really hurtful and isn't generally a healthy way to handle friendships. It's understandable that you're feeling upset, especially since your best friend didn't vote for you and has been ignoring you.
It might be helpful to have a calm and honest conversation with your best friend. Let her know how her actions are making you feel. Use 'I' statements like 'I feel hurt when you ignore me' instead of 'You are ignoring me,' which can help avoid making her defensive.
If she continues to be mad at you for what you feel are minor reasons, it might be worth considering if this friendship is as supportive and positive as you deserve. Friendships should make you feel valued and respected 💖
Remember, it's okay to take a step back and focus on the friends who treat you well and make you feel good about yourself until she's ready to hash things out – you deserve to be surrounded by people who appreciate you for who you are 🌟
Hope this helps 💞
