Specifically on social media. My friend knows I’m fond of him, but I gave up dating him due to his unresolved issues. He started inviting people to things on his stories and deliberately leaving me out and not inviting me. Well, he’s doing it again, and when I bring up going he’s aloof and cold. I don’t have 100% proof but he knows I react so it’s just obvious. I did confront him once and he denied it and tried to make it like I’m over reacting. I really don’t need these kind of childish games and I don’t think a real friend would do this knowing how it made you feel...Funny thing is, no one ever goes to his invites, so he is just looking pathetic & desperate. He tries to act like he’s popular, but in reality he’s insecure because he wouldn’t brag about it or invite people to things via IG story. Come on, who the hell does that???!! Grow up already

Dear Traveljunkie,

That sounds like an awful situation. I've always thought that "playing games" was a forum of using people. Don't know if that it true, but it is how I see it at this point in my life. I am sorry you are at the receiving end of this stuff!

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen

I never looked at it like that, but anything someone does for control or to gain something is using someone I suppose.
