  • 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.
