When you suspect that your friends are getting tired of you, then it may be because you are tired of them. Ask yourself a few questions to find out if this is the case: Are you putting little effort into the relationship, such as not contacting them and not making plans? Do you feel bored when you are with them? Do you hope that plans with them get cancelled? If your friends are tired of you, it's likely that they're starting to exclude you from things or ignore you. You might notice that they feel more distant from you. Even if they speak to you, it might be more out of convenience and they may not go out of their way to invite you to events. For example, your friends might hang out with you at school but exclude you on the weekends. Before you decide your friends are excluding you, ask yourself if you are putting in the same effort you expect from them. If you don't invite them to do things, then they may not think to invite you. Sometimes, conflicts can lead to distance. For example, if you have had a fight with one or more of your friends, they may take some distance while things cool off. Taking some time apart is normal if you disagree about something. If time goes on and you haven't made up or they say that things are fine but they've nearly stopped talking to you, this may indicate greater problems. Understanding the wider context can sometimes help you to see why your friends might be distancing themselves. If you have been apart because of an issue, reach out to them to start repairing your relationship. For example, apologize first after a fight. Excuses are a weak way of not saying openly what the person really thinks. You might still talk to your friends, but when it comes to having fun, they might make excuses for not wanting you to come. If the excuses keep adding up, this might be one way they're indirectly telling you that they're tired of you. If the excuses don't quite make sense, the person might use them to create distance or spend some time apart from you. If you're always looking for approval, your friends might get tired of affirming you. Saying things like, "We're best friends, right?" or, "You're going to invite me to that party, aren't you?" can be exhausting. While you want to feel accepted and included, don't go actively seeking that inclusion. If you find yourself asking for validation from your friends, step back. If you're worried about the friendship ending and want constant reassurance, it can turn into a self-fulfilling prophesy in no time. Make sure that you are not being needy. Spend time working on things that are special to you instead of asking for others to validate you. Some people might be nice to you sometimes and mean to you at other times. If these friends call you names, steal from you, or talk about you behind your back, this isn't friendship behavior. This sounds more like bullying than friendship. Other bullying behavior might include gossiping, spreading rumors, or purposefully embarrassing you. You might find yourself the butt of the jokes or notice that your friends put you down. If you say something, they might tell you to stop being sensitive or that you can't take a joke. Friends do not mock or insult friends. This could be a serious sign that they're trying to exclude you. You might laugh along but really feel insecure or unhappy that they're making fun of you. If your friends say hurtful things about you, say, "I don't think that's funny. In fact, it's really rude and hurtful." If they continue to say these things, then they aren't being good friends. Feeling like you fit in with these friends isn't worth being put down or made fun of.

Problem: Article: Even though cats aren't known for being the friendliest creatures, often preferring to be by themselves rather than constantly in owners' arms, they should not be constantly trying to get away from people. This can be a sign that they need a reduction in environmental stressors. If your cat consistently ducks out of the room or dodges behind furniture every time someone enters the room, you should try to figure out what's wrong. New cats may hide more than cats who are accustomed to their homes, so don't be alarmed if your new cat hides for a while after moving in. If you have a cat cohabitating with other pets, it should be easy to tell if aggression is a normal behavior or not. If your cat consistently snaps at or picks fights with animals it used to play happily with, the cat very well may be stressed. Your cat may be sick instead of stressed, so identify any stressors that could be triggering this behavior before heading to the vet. You are also probably attuned to how your cat interacts with other humans. If your cat used to be warm toward people, or even passively accepted their presence, and suddenly starts lashing out, you have a problem. Again, if you are mystified by this aggression, take stock of your home environment and identify any stressors. If there aren't any, the cat may be sick.
Summary:
Notice when your cat isolates itself. Be concerned about aggression toward other animals. Address aggression toward people.
