Moving Forward After Feeling Left Out

Have you ever felt the sting of being left out by friends? Last year, when I was 23, I watched my group make plans without me. It hurt, and I questioned my value in those friendships. Instead of letting it define me, I started focusing on what made me happy outside of that circle. I picked up new hobbies and reached out to people who made me feel seen. Slowly, I realized my worth isn’t tied to one group’s approval. If you’re feeling left out, remember: your value is not determined by others. Try connecting with new people, exploring your interests, and being kind to yourself. You might be surprised by the friendships you build along the way. Have you ever felt left out?
