So this sounds weird and oddly clingy, so here’s the background. My best friend lives in America, and I live in Canada. I’ve known her for 9 years and never met her, only face time and text and every other social media we could use. She’s been through a lot with me and I would do anything for her. 

Recently 3 of my friends (who didn’t know each other) were all talking about Kpop to me, and since I have no interest in listening to it I put the 3 of them in a group chat with me in it. America is one of those friends. It’s only been 4 months. In the time frame, my best friend convinced me to fly to America in May for her graduation for 2 weeks, and then she’s coming up here in July for a month. I’m really excited and I’ve already started planning for her visit and what I want to show her in my city. (This includes leaving the city to explore my Province a little, and I reserved one day for the Kpop group and myself to spend together.) She’ll be moving to South Korea for an internship after so this is the last time I’ll see her for a while, and because of time zones most likely talk to her too. 

This is where everything gets hard. The Kpop group chat heard about this after me and they got really excited too. So excited that they’re inviting themselves to a lot of the things I planned for us to do. That threw me off. I’ve been waiting 9 years for this moments, and people who have known her for 4 months are acting like they’ve known her as long as I have. So far, they’ve discussed 4 separate outings without me to do things they know I don’t enjoy (All of them either related to Kpop, Restaurants I cant eat at, or restaurants I simply don’t like and can’t fathom spending that much money on.) The 2 friends have been talking about it so much that when they mention it in front of me, they don’t bother inviting me. 

Now I’ll also be the only one who drives, and my American friend will be staying at my house and will not have a bus pass, so I don’t know how these girls expect her to get around because I refuse to let her spend her money on travel. I think they’re expecting me to be like a mom dropping her child off at daycare. 

I talked to my best friend about it, and she told me not to worry because who knows if the 3 of them would get along in person anyways, and that everything would be fine. Although I can guarantee they’ll all get along. Most of my friends have the same personality type. Nonetheless, her words reassured me for a while until I learned these girls planned a whole WEEK of things without me. 

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad my friends are making friends, but at the same time I really want to spend all the time I can with my best friend. She means everything to me and I want to make good use of our time. 

So am I the asshole for wanting to keep my best friend to myself, and being annoyed that my friends are purposely making plans without me?
