BabyG Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I am 18 years old. I have a cousin that is 27 years old who I grew up with. She is the closest thing I ever had to a sister, but she has taken up with my best friend since kindergarten and I’m really not ok with it. I know that people are free to be friends with whoever they want & I’m glad they hit it off, but is it appropriate that they are hanging out without me now?

Solution Jaime Rose Posted July 19, 2021 Solution Share Posted July 19, 2021 You're right - people are free to choose their friends. That said, the things that you're feeling are completely legitimate and valid;l I can't say I wouldn't feel jealous and betrayed if my best friend started hanging out with my 28 year-old brother without me. If you think it's beneficial, I'd recommend just being honest, and having a heart-to-heart chat with your cousin and your friend your feelings about being left-out. I'm sorry you're stuck in the middle of this, and I hope that you can find a positive resolution soon. 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsoon Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Hey @BabyG Thank you for coming to us about this. I think that @Jaime Rose has given you some pretty great advice. As they said, it can be helpful to just be open with them and have a heart-to-heart chat. If you keep this kind of thing in, it can bubble over and make you feel worse in the long run. What do you think? Speak soon. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
