Friendship Circles: Why Feeling Left Out Isn’t a Bad Thing

Hey Girlfriend - Let’s get real for a minute: you’re not going to be everyone’s cup of tea ☕—and guess what? That’s perfectly fine. In fact, it’s more than fine—it’s beautiful.🦋 At The Girlfriend Hub, we’re all about forming friendships with different women, creating little pockets of connection that feel like home. But those pockets? They’re not going to look the same for everyone. And that’s exactly how it should be.

Here’s the thing: as we build our circles⭕, they’ll start to overlap with others, like a messy but gorgeous Venn diagram of friendships. My circle won’t have all the same people as yours. We’ll create memories and experiences within our little groups—coffee dates, game nights, those unforgettable chats that last way past bedtime (although bedtime is coveted at our age! 🤣). And while that’s magic in itself, it can also be easy to glance at other circles, see the fun they’re having, and feel that pang of, “Why wasn’t I invited?”

But let’s pause right there, babe.

We can’t do everything with everyone. If we tried, we’d lose the intimacy that makes our own connections so special💕. More importantly, we can’t expect to always be invited, especially when we haven’t been doing much inviting ourselves. Tough love moment: when was the last time you initiated something? 🤔

I know—it stings a little, but hear me out. The cure for that “left out” feeling isn’t waiting for someone else to include you. It’s stepping up, sending that text, planning that coffee date, or even hosting a simple hangout. When you start inviting, you’ll see your circle take on a life of its own. 💫

And if you’re still struggling with those feelings of being on the outside looking in? Give yourself grace. Remind yourself that you’re creating your own kind of magic with your people. Your circle doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s.

At the end of the day, you are enough—your energy, your vibes, your friendships. ✨ You’re not meant to fit into every group, and that’s a gift. It means the people who do choose you? They’re choosing the real you.

So next time you’re feeling left out, channel that energy into something actionable. Make the first move. Start building. You’ll be amazed at the connections waiting for you when you put yourself out there. 🌟

Love always,

Rebecca
