How could she do this to me

I've been mates with my best friend Heather for 10 years, and we've always been close. We're both going to seperate unis in September, and we promised each other that we'd do something really cool and go away in the summer. Now I've only just found out that she's planning a trip with her other other two mates for the summer and she hasn't invited me. They now spend all their time organising their trip and what stuff they're going to do. I said how excited I was for her but I can't help but feel hurt. I feel like crying because she has left me behind when I was supposed to be her best friend. I've got other friends I'll be spending time with, but I've always included her and she knows how much I love going on trips away. I don't want to say anything to her, but it makes me feel upset to think she has forgotten me. Is she being selfish?

She is entitled to other friends. Although why not ask her about your trip together and start arranging that? In a way she isnt being selfish but yes in the way you feel left out. good luck x

I agree the best thing you can do, is ask her about the trip you two are both going on. And hope that it gets organised.

Why can't you say something, you've been friends long enough to be able to talk about stuff :smile: You don't have to strop out "what about meeeeee???" but bring up the plans you'd made and ask when she'll be back from her 1st vacation as you need to get moving on planning yours. That'll hopefully initiate the conversation about what she's doing with the 1st group and maybe even why you weren't included. Don't get upset about it :cool:
I think she's probabaly just not realised that this is quite insensitive. Maybe she thinks you wouldn't want to go with these other people?

Agree

Do you know the other friends well? If not then maybe they just planned it quicker and she did not know if u would want to go so bring it up.

Why are you telling us? You should clearly be talking to her about it.

talk to her. it would somehow lighten your feelings upon knowing the reason why she did not invite you.

Does this trip with her other friends mean that your trip is cancelled?

If no, then I don't see what the problem is, really. They're different friends, and a different part of her life. If it does, then have a word with her about plans for the summer, where the two of you were planning to go, see how she reacts...

I need advice. I can't just go crashing in or she'll think I'm being selfish. Which I'm trying not to be.

The problem is, her two friends were supposed to be going with us anyway, on the trip I was organising. So she's taken over and left me out.

I'm probably better off without her.
I wouldn't say that just yet. It might not be right, be getting excited and carried away is forgiveable. Just have a chat with her. 'Hey, this holiday we're having... Had any more ideas...?'.

This thread reminds me of that whiney ass song by Simple Plan "How could this happen to me" :p:
well if she promised you she would go away with you theres nothing stopping her going away with you as well. just ask her if shes still up for a weekend away etc sometime in the summer?she probably doesnt know how upset you are about it so the best thing would be just to talk to her.
