Has any of you fellow mylotters ever experience a moment when you are with a friend or two and it just so happens that they coincidentally meet with their other friends you arte not very familiar of? They talk about things you don't quite understand. It's a little bit awkward for ourselves right? I mean, don;t they realize that you are also with them? Why not introduce you to the others so as not to be as awkward for you? Why am I saying these? Because it just happened to me a while ago.

It has happened to me before, and indeed, it does feel awkward when they just suddenly do that and leave me hanging. And after they get to talk and settle their conversation, my friend would get back at me as if I was a call on hold and would apologize. On the other hand, I'd just be saying that it was okay and I'd then ask about who that friend of his or her was, how did they became friends and so on with whatever I can think of in asking (^_^")
So I try to introduce those friends that I get to come across to those current friends that I am with. As long as they are both there and present within earshot of each other. Or maybe I'll just make the initiative of introducing them even if they are a few paces away.

yeah, most of the time others just get carried awaya with their conversation that they actually forget tht they are with someone else. Still, I don;t think I'll even dare ask my friend who he or she was talking to. I think I'll just leave it at that and went on with whatever we are doing. But I seriously hope that they will realize how uncomfortable it is if ewver that incident happens.

This sort of a situation will happen frequently. I overcome the problem by introducing myself. If they respond I will talk. otherwise I will just move away from that place. have a nice day.

To be honest, I don't really like the idea of introducing myself to someone who is having a conversation with a friend. Why? Because I want my friend to realize that he/ she should be the one to introduce us. To beocme the bridge, I think? I guess my pride will be a little hurt if the other person will not even respond if ever I actually introduced myself and that person just went on with their conversation.

When I am with a friend who happens to meet another friend of hers my friends would always introduce me with the other friend. But even so, I still feel awkward for the time when they are talking for I surely can't relate to for I am not a friend of the other friend. What I always do is stay away from the both of them and try to be busy so they can talk. I know they will part ways after the small talk, after all we are the one who were together before the other friend came.

sorry to hear that happened to you. i have experienced that myself but then i would let them feel that it is kind of awkward and my friend would then realized what happen and either say goodbye to their friends or introduce me to them. how did you react by the way?

I just stood there and said nothing.. and I was moving away bit by bit until I was far enough. Hahaha! I don't like it when I always get left behind so I just left them.
