ive been hanging out with my friend and only him for almost 2 years or so
but he has other friends to hang out with, but no one asks me to hang out with them
i do have other friends to consider hanging out with, but they already have a group of their own that they hang out so i dont feel comfortable just asking to hang out
i am so tedious and paranoid when it comes to this kind of thing in my social/friendship part of my life cuz i feel so insecure that everybody (including my best friend) i know hangs out with other people, while im just sitting in my house all day without anyone asking me
these thoughts do not go through my head every day but at the moment it makes me feel lame and boring just because... i really need help right now

maybe you should not wait for them to ask you to hang out, but go and ask them if they would mind if you hung around with them. maybe they think that you prefer to be alone? the worse that can happen is that they would say no, and although that wouldn't be nice, you wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.

Talk to your friend and ask him if you can "hang" together

i attempt to, but i always doubt we are not that close of a friend to be hanging together with you know?
is there like certain 'limit' to your friends wheter to ask them to hang out or not? i mean i do have great friends but they never really asked me to hang out with them since they are busy with their other friends
i dont know it may be me just thinking everything negatively...

if they are your friends they shouldn't mind if you want to hang out. as long as you don't become clingy or anything, then there shouldn't be a problem. if they don't want to hang out with you they probably aren't really your friends.
