Drop them. We've all been annoying or inappropriate or rubbed people the wrong way at some point in our lives, but you don't need people who can't be honest with you about when and how. Social media has made this passive aggressive shit the norm in solving problems. You don't need that.

Clearly time to get some new friends, obviously they intentionally don't like you for you. Don't worry, there's people out there who'd enjoy and embrace what they call "disturbing"

Those are not friends, OP. Drop em. I'm sure with due time, they will realize how much they valued your friendship...but it'll be too late then! You can find better people out there, ones who aren't as rude as they are.

It's a shame you found out they had a group you are excluded from, but it's not like they are obliged to make you a part of every conversation they have.

I honestly hate to admit this, but we've done this sometimes. In my crazy group of friends, there are some with absolutely NO FILTER, they say annoying/creepy/inappropriate stuff that at times we need a separate group.

those aren't friends... find new ones man

This happens to me often. Find new friends before you're stuck, except for me they made a group chat where they can hate me....

Don't worry, my "friends" do the same to me on Skype and Kik. I feel you.

Their loss. Leave it

screw 'em
