I have two friends, and one has been feeling distant from the other. Let's say B is the one feeling distant from A. A is hard to gauge cuz you can't tell what they're thinking sometimes. And might have a hard time communicating. B has been feeling left out. They aren't invited out by A, they feel like A doesn't have the time for them, and that they might not be friends anymore. And then there's C. C lives with B. C doesn't talk to A often, but when they do it feels as if nothing has changed. A invites C to different functions. And while C will bring up B, it feels like A avoids them. C will bring up invites to B and sometimes B will feel hurt. C doesn't want to hurt B, so C feels like they have to lie about hanging out with A.

Tonight C decided to be honest about how they feel they can't hang out with A because of how it hurts B. After a discussion, B tells C that they feel that A does not make the effort to want to hangout with them. And because of that feel hurt, and like they aren't friends with them anymore. C is at lost of what to do to help cheer up B. C wants to hang out, but does not want to hurt B in the process. C really cares for B and wants for A and B to be close again. So C is asking for advice, what would you do in this situation? How should C navigate their two friendships

I feel like the most simple answer is to talk about this with A. Once you know their opinion (maybe it was unintentional and they are okay with getting closer with B, or maybe they dislike B, or anything else) you can take another decision.

I talked to my therapist and turns out- my friend is kinda pushing their insecurities onto me. I will talk to A eventually but I do understand that there literally nothing I can do. Thank you for the advice tho. I'm gonna use it!
