He Realized He Was The Laughingstock Of His Friend Group After He Hosted A Birthday Party And Overheard Everyone Badmouthing Him For 10 Minutes
Over the weekend, this 33-year-old guy sadly realized that he was the laughingstock of his friend group. What’s even worse is that the truth finally came out during a birthday party he hosted for himself.
It all began during the party, which was hosted outside in the sun when he excused himself to use the bathroom. And once in the bathroom, he decided to open up a window– which was not visible from the main party area.
At that point, he was immediately met with laughter– which he didn’t think much of at first. But then, he heard his name mentioned, along with a comment about how he was an “absolute mess,” and even more laughter followed.
Unfortunately, the mean remarks didn’t stop there, either. Instead, over the following minutes, his name was apparently mentioned numerous times while his so-called “friends” insulted everything about him.
“Everything from the drinks I make people– all of which are just thrown away– to the night getting better when I leave,” he revealed.
“I sat in the bathroom for about 10 minutes and just listened to the onslaught of insults. Even a secret I confided in one friend was broadcast to the whole group, again to much laughter.”
Still, he eventually needed to head back outside. And when he did, he watched as all of his friends went back to acting “normal.”
For him, however, the damage was done, and he couldn’t help but notice all of the “little things” he never realized before. For instance, he was not included in any conversations or interactions aside from people glancing or smirking at him.

Then, while he was making a drink in the kitchen, one of his drunk “friends” even walked in and said, “We’re all talking about how you’re such a lightweight,” before bursting into laughter and walking out.
So, the longer he hung out with everyone, the clearer everything became. Any time he arranged an event, his “friends” would show up late and head out early. He wasn’t invited to any get-together that he didn’t plan either. Plus, it just so happened that he was always left out of everyone’s inside jokes.
“People didn’t laugh with me. They just laughed at me. And I figured that’s how it had always been, but I’d been oblivious to it,” he said.
No one ever asked him how he was doing or what was going on in his life. In fact, he got a new job months ago, and none of his friends even seemed to notice.
And yet again, during his own birthday celebration, half of his guests left early. Afterward, the rest of the attendees just sat there looking bored and scrolling on their phones until they left, too. To make matters even worse, he also saw a since-deleted Facebook post from the night of his party. It was from this post that he learned all of his friends went out together after his party, yet he wasn’t even invited!
“I just want to cry, but I can’t. I’ve never experienced this before and don’t know what to do,” he vented.
One thing he is certain of, however, is that he definitely needs some new friends.
Have you ever been alienated and ostracized by your friend group? Can you imagine how he must have felt hearing all of those terrible things said about him at his own birthday party? How would you have reacted? What advice would you give him moving forward?
