You're right, open communication is the best option as they'll keep thinking I'm OK with being disrespected if I don't say anything about this. I can't believe that another friend who doesn't know them thought that I'm being 'needy', and that I'm 'entitled', and that I get to easily upset when things don't go my way.

She told me to not say anything otherwise I'd end up pushing them away. If they're going to get offended by my honesty, then they're no the right friends for me. I'll be polite but firm. Thanks for your kind words. I'll talk to them each using I statements soon privately with each of them.
