before quarantine i was in a friendship triangle which consisted of me and my two "best friends" from school, and during quarantine, i'm getting replaced by a different girl. i was never a first choice between them, but i didn't think they would actually replace my friendship with someone else. i want to confront them but they still are good friends sometimes :/ they've asked me to hang out once, and that was last year :( they hang out with so many people, even people they didn't like, all the time and they haven't even texted me since the beginning of this year. the only time we texted after that was because they were using me for homework answers. i don't know how to talk to them about it. please help. do you think i'm just jealous? please be honest.

Hi!! You don't have to confront your friends in a finger-pointing "You replaced me" kind of way, even though that seems like what they did. You could just ask them if they feel like they're outgrowing your 3-way friendship and want to hang out with the other person more. If they say yes, it will be hard at first like it always is when you lose friends, but it will be easier in the long run that you were all upfront with each other. It sounds like you all used to have a great friendship, but it seems like it's becoming toxic. It is not worth you putting your energy into this friendship just for them to ignore you unless it's convenient for them. You deserve (and can find) much better friends that will actually care about you and not just use you for school work answers!
