do you like this!!!!!!!!!!

Hi aps! Very Good Post! You see when thee are more than one friend. I would talk about only those topices which are of interest to both of them. I would try to involve both of them. In our lunch group, we were three and we used to discuss every issue during our lunch break and two of my other colleagues/friends would listen and give their inputs. If am talking something very personal with my friend and someone joins in and if I do not want to share the personal matter with the third person (even if s/he is known to me or close to me) I would chane the topic. If am in a group, I will make sure while discussing something no one is ignored and everybody should join in with his/her point of view.

Hello, apsara. This is awfully rude and a blatant show of disrespect to the person who is left out. It is important for me not to leave out anyone in the group. But if I were the one who was left out, I wouldn't worry about it. I have no control over other people's actions, but I have control over mine. As long as I do what is right and proper, I wouldn't have a problem. Have a great day, my friend.

It is bad manners that we are in a group we should involve everyone in the conversation and not ignore anyone. We have people from different states living in our city and very often when two people of the same state meet they talk in their own native language and just leave the other person out without realizing that the third person is being ignored. I personally do not like this behaviour and avoid these kind of friends.

For me yes it is more important because we follow what Jesus did when he is in this earth even if he is the Son of god he guide as what the good attitude we do keep up the good work.

*gasp* I can so relate to this! Thanks for bringing this up because it's something that's been bugging me a while. I have a very close group of friends and we've been a group for several years in high school. Though, in my group of friends, almost everyone has favorites. Like one friend of mine would favor another friend in the group and they would always go off together the two of them and ditch the rest of the group sometimes. Me and a few other friends in the group realize this and get kinda frustrated or annoyed by it. One of my friends have confronted them before, they did stop for a while but now they're continuing their old ways again. Before I was part of a trio during class and my other two friends are close cousins and they just spoke to themselves ignoring me. I kept my head down and did my work while they chattered non stop, they started to joke and laugh too and I felt pretty sad that I couldn't laugh with them. I always feel like the third wheel and it's not a good feeling. Some of my friends don't realize that and they can get pretty selfish. But that's how some people are, you can't change them, only they can change themselves.

if i were the ignored friend, i would try to join the topic, but it they still don't wanna mingle with me, i'd rather walk out. i am a person who really doesn't want to be ignored. if they were still my friends, why ere they doing that to me? it just showed that they didn't care about me anymore. so i'll just stay away before i will be hurt more. and for the 2 people, why are they ignoring the other friend? if they didn't want his presence, why still go and talk with him? but, if they were already in that situation, i think it would be better not to talk to themselves only even if they didn't care about the other person. they must show some respect, and proper etiquette. if he was really their friend, they must fill in the person with the information that they two only knew, so that the person could also relate what they were talking about.

I think that is very rude for them to talk about something that the other person knows nothing about, especially if they make it a long conversation and leave the other person out of it. A short conversation is fine though.

Hi Apsa, It is good that you are not that kind of person.. :) It is very mean to treat people that way. It is not appropriate.

It doesn't really bother me if I was the 3rd person (the one not included in the discussion) because I like listening to people talk specially if it were a topic that he/she could talk about it like it was his/her diary. So personally it doesn't bother me at all.
