I think in any relationship when one person claims they "didn't do anything wrong" shows an unwillingness to look inward at themselves. In all troubled relationships, we ALL play a role, somewhere, somehow. Take some of your feedback into consideration without feeling the need to defend yourself. Communication is hard for a lot of people. We're not all therapists and able to explain things in a way that will be well received so oftentimes, even our good friends don't know how to bring up sensitive topics.

So I guess my thoughts are, if they're truly judging you, they're not good friends. I didn't read all your posts so I don't know how direct they've been with their judgements and please try not to assume if they haven't done or said anything specifically.

Take a step back and look at what you're bringing to these friendships. Are you the "Debbie Downer" in the group? Are you unintentionally passing judgments/negativity towards them, via body language, because of how you feel? Are you authentically interested in their lives or are you always worried/anxious about what's going on in their minds?

I'm being blunt because I, too, am looking at my friendships and am being more aware on how much positivity I'm bringing to the table and am working on being more present and enjoyable (I'm working through a lot of stress).

It's about balance. It's ok to vent or say something negative when a need arises. But it's emotionally draining when a single person uses their friends as sounding boards... and I'm not at all suggesting you are.

I also think "group" hangouts is more about having FUN.. to keep things light.. and to destress a hectic week/month/scenario.

So, you likely are doing SOMETHING to contribute towards their distancing. See if there's something you can do for yourself.. however that may be.

It's a sucky place to be in. I'm sorry you're feeling down about these friends.. and I totally get where you're coming from.
