This happens a lot.
I was born 3rd in two sets of 3 children and still a subordinate position in friendships is distasteful. It's not difficult to imagine how an only child might feel as a subordinate in a click or friendship. If I consciously cannot bring myself to accept that someone I like likes another whom I don't like better than me, I might test that reality once or twice. Six repititions supposedly insures the information is learned and spread out over time, this might make it seem to me to be happening "all the time." Trying a little empathy here, I can see myself in the place scripted here, but I don't have a method for overcoming subordination, according to the stars I'm a born leader--the stars do have a following even if I might not.
