This has been really hard for me to admit to myself. My best friend is leaving today to spend the weekend with her other friend (who she has known for years longer than me) and six other girls. It’s all she has talked about, as she’s super excited to go on a girls trip. She did say that next year for her birthday she wants me and her step daughter to go there. But I’m just really bummed that she’s going to go have all this fun with other people. It makes me feel like I’m a boring friend. She’s told me several times that having one friend (i.e. just me) isn’t enough for her, but this friend has done so many fucked up things to her that they stopped talking for almost a year.

I’ve been trying to tell myself I’m not jealous, even when my mom and sister make comments about how much it sucks I’m not going. How do I overcome this? I definitely will be avoiding social media while she’s there, but what can I do to make me feel better emotionally?
