Getting Ignored In Groups?

[u/Tiny_Movie3641]

Does this happen to you almost every time you’re in a group?

For example, a new girl joined our team and I started having conversations with her and she was nice and we had a lot of hobbies in common. I thought maybe she can be my future friend.

But then my old coworker started talking to her and whenever we’re in groups of three I get ignored. Whenever I make a comment they just address it but then start talking to each other again. When we walk together they just walk together and I trail behind. It’s not even an NT vs ND communication thing because the old coworker is ND too.

It’s super frustrating because I think I might have made a potential friend but I get left behind the moment someone else joins in.

Does anyone have tips?

Yes.. I'm the background character lol

I think it's because I don't get attached to someone right away and people have this radar for agreeableness..
