Hello @Vizion101,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts in that you're feeling lonely right now and perhaps feel left out. I can relate to this all too well, but I felt better after I really knew what was going on with my friends in their personal lives.
I empathise with you when you're saying you feel you're being left out on purpose, especially when they say they're busy or have other priorities. I had the exact same problem with my best friends, and because I got on well with them, I asked how they were going. One of my friends came out and told me that he really wasn't feeling good and it was a really hard time for him. I know it's hard to think this is the case (because at first I didn't believe it) but when your good friends say "I'm busy" or other stuff like that, it's probably that they are having a really hard time with something and that's why they might not want to socialise.
It's sad to hear that you feel unlovable and that is certainly not true at all. Now, my friends still say the same thing when saying I'm too busy and it's probably because of something in their lives that is saddening them. You've mentioned that you feel your friends have made you a better person and say they care about you. To me they sound like good friends. If they didn't like you, they would be a lot meaner. Because they seem nice, it sounds like they are just going through a tough time, and I know it's really frustrating, but give it some time and one day they might say "I was feeling really sad at one point".
I hope this helps with this lonely feeling, but I assure you, you are in a great friend group who are not doing this on purpose. Everyone experiences something tough every now and then. All the best @Vizion101 😁!
