So me and my bf threw him a bday party. his closest friends came. im also friends with really only one of his friends and not so much the rest. i have voiced to him before that when im around these specific friends i feel like im weird and dont fit in. for awhile, i just thought maybe it was bc i was a little older but only by 2 years. So these 2 specific friends show up and off the bat i already feel some awkwardness. which is kind of usual especially at first (im super shy) but as the night goes on and we get a few drinks in i can come out of my shell. but this felt different. i still had a good time for the most part until later in the night a conversation got brought up. there was some back and forth but nothing too serious. i did feel some type of way about the conversation but i didn't say much. it wasn't until i started texting my friend ab it that i got upset. my bf's LITTLE SISTER asked one of his friends to look at my phone to see who i was texting and i caught it. then another friend is standing behind me and mouths to my boyfriend that im texting someone and when i look up he's mouthing "who is it?" so i say something. one of the friends boyfriends goes "he didnt even say anything" and everyone laughs. i felt so embarrassed and like i was in some middle school drama. i didn't want to just go inside bc then i felt like that made me look weak but the more and more i sat there and my boyfriend had the nerve to keep asking me whats wrong, i went inside. im not a confrontational person and it feels even worse to feel like you have bullies in your adult years. the friend that im friends with was the one to come check on me. not even my boyfriend until a few minutes later. one of the (specific) friends even had the nerve to come ask if i was okay. but now i just think she came to check and see what me and the mutual friend were doing. my boyfriend came to check on me and we talked about it and i told him it wasn't cool and i feel like he doesn't stand up for me. he agreed and said he'd talk to them the next day (today) but i honestly feel like he won't.
