I’m a woman in my late 20s, and I feel stung when friends and roommates make plans to hang out without me while I’m standing there. One close friend often reminisces to me about girls' nights and outings with our mutual friends.

When I told them how this made me feel, they assured me we were indeed friends and said I was being “too.” I value these friends. Because they are roommates, I can’t avoid them. For the most part, they’re kind and conscientious.
