I'm not looking for responses like "cut them off, they're not worth your time" etc. I've known these people for a long time and I value our friendship dearly, so it's not something I just want to give up on. But, I do feel upset whenever I try to talk to them, make plans, try to hang out, and my messages in the group just either get ignored or I get a bunch of "sorry, no, I can't make it" responses and various excuses. But then, I see them hanging out together... Without me. Not necessarily all of them together, but it still hurts. It's hard to not feel like I'm the problem. I want to blow up, cry, get angry, go absolutely crazy. I've tried to reign in my emotions and talk about it before, and they try to reassure me... It works, for a bit, but it doesn't last.

I just feel so rejected and unloved. They don't realise how much it hurts me. I'm so sad. I've been trying to calm myself myself and think of reasons maybe why they couldn't respond, why they say no, why they may not want to hang out, but I just can't seem to reassure myself. Does anyone have any tips or advice? :( My heart feels so broken, I'm trying so hard not to just cut them all off but I know I shouldn't because I do care about them a lot.
