The only thing worse than being a third wheel to a romantic relationship, is being a third wheel to two best friends.
-
I've recently introduced two of my friends and it did not go the way that I thought it would.
-
Heeey!
-
Hey, Gaby!
-
Meet Allison, Allison meet Gaby!
-
Uh, guys?
-
Gu.. Guys, do you still wanna... Okay...
-
And if you're wondering, I thought it would go like this.
-
Gaby, meet Allison, Allison, meet Gaby.
-
Hi! Nice to meet you.
-
Hey!
-
I like your shirt.
-
Thanks!
-
I am the glue that holds us all together.
-
But no!
-
They met and it was instafriendship.
-
Which was great, until I realized that our whole dynamic was changing.
-
Soon, I was gonna be the third wheel, while they're finishing each other's sentences!
-
Oh my god!
-
The friendship third wheel is its own special kind of loneliness.
-
It's a horror I would not wish on anyone.
-
It's a FOMO when yo' sittin' right there tho'.
-
What are you guys laughing about?
-
Gaby said the stupidest thing in this video that she like kept saying and it's so funny.
-
Can I, can I watch the video?
-
Oh, don't even worry about it, it's so stupid.
-
It's honestly the dumbest.
-
Oh it's like, it's not even worth it. It's like you'd have to see so many...
-
It's dumb, it's really dumb.
-
Yeah, don't worry about it.
-
You'd have to be a fucking idiot not to find it on your own.
-
And I felt pretty petty and I felt dumb about how jealous I was.
-
So I tried to strengthen my bond with them.
-
Hey! What's up?
-
Hey! Did you want to watch a movie on Friday?
-
Ah... Allison and I have plans Friday...
-
Oh...
-
Okay, then... Um...
-
How about Saturday?
-
Yeah sure! I'm free Saturday!
-
Are you free Saturday, Allison?
-
I'm free! Would love to hang!
-
Wha... Uh...
-
What time? Probably at night, right? Because we have that...
-
Yeah, we're busy all day.
-
Yeah, we have that mic...
-
And it got to a point where I just had to tell them about how insecure I felt and how threatened I was by their friendship.
-
So, I sat them down and I talked to them like the adult that I am.
-
Oh no! We love you!
-
You're just between us!
-
Yeah.
-
You're gonna be okay, we're all friends.
-
So I think we can all agree that the moral of this story is...
-
Never introduce your friends to each other!
-
They're yours, yours alone! Never share them with anyone.
