Group exclusion

Social Dilemma: In your 5-person friend group, one person is being excluded from recent hangouts. They don't know and still talk to everyone normally. Do you tell them, or stay silent to keep the group peace?

I don’t go along with the unconsciously excluding vibe - the camp that won’t

If it were me, I’d first casually say to everyone, “Let’s invite ○○ lately too, shall we?” and if I’m still brushed off, I’d switch to a one-on-one hang-out with that person 😶‍✨ I don’t ride along with an unconsciously bullying vibe, and if that keeps up, I’d distance myself a bit from that five-person group.
