Anyone also have been the floater friend? :/

I recently just lost my best friend who I thought we were really close but I’m just the friend that has just always been left out. It used to be me and my other two friends and now they don’t talk to me and they have a new girl in the group and they call themselves best friends now. :( Who can relate?
