How to deal with being left out
You may not be able to stop yourself from feeling sour about being left out. When those moments of social exclusion find you, there are ways to avoid self-pity:
1. Validate and sit with your emotions
2. Give the benefit of the doubt
3. Reach out to someone else (not to vent!)
4. Shift your narrative
5. Fortify your self-confidence
6. Communicate with your person
7. Remind yourself stings are temporary sensations
8. Create new friendships
