Friends falling out over debate

My friends have a group chat that we use for memes and polls. Everyone is allowed to express their own opinions, but apparently I'm not. I love them all, but they ignore my opinions if they disagree, and try to "prove" me wrong to be expressing my own views. I never would do the same to them, and I guess they know that :'( . Anyone else have this issue?
Why not talk to them and tell them what you've told us? Communication is key.

I have honestly tried but they never seem to listen. It's as if I'm not allowed to talk or they will no longer be my friend

Thank you so much for trying :smile: I'm just gonna leave them to simmer in their own minds. Maybe a resolution can come in time :smile: Again, thank you for the advice xx

the very definition of a friend is 'a person with whom one has a bond of mutual affection,'

I dont know about you but one word sticks out to me

you might be afraid that you wont be as happy being with other people/being alone, but that doesnt justify being treated like this currently, you deserve 'better' even if you don't know what or who 'better' is - move on from them :holmes:
