Planning a girls' trip turned complex when an unwanted guest was added to the group chat. One attendee felt surprised and uncomfortable, regretting the lack of prior communication. Despite paying a deposit, there's concern over personal enjoyment due to prior tensions. Seeking advice, a strong friend in the group expresses emotional exhaustion from consistently supporting others while struggling with her own issues. Both scenarios highlight the complexities of maintaining healthy relationships amid individual needs and boundaries.
"I wish my friend had asked me if I felt comfortable before she extended an invitation to this person."
"This feels like a lose-lose situation."
"I always feel pressure to be the strong one in my friend group."
"What people forget is that I'm still figuring out life, too."
