So I have a friend (who I'm pretty sure I've mentioned on here before, I'll call him D) and we've been great friends for over a year now. We share every class, and sit together with our group of friends at lunch. I like to hang out with him because he's a great friend who makes me laugh. The problem? Lately, when I've been sitting next to him during lunch, J just comes over and sits in between us. There will be very little to no space, and she just sits between us without even asking. Yet when I'll be hanging out with him and a couple other people, she just goes with another group of friends. How do I ask her to stop without seeming rude? It's similar to what I asked before, but my mom just said she's jealous (Again, D and I are only friends) and I don't want to upset her, but this is bothering me.
Just calmly politely call her out. "Excuse me, I was sitting there; could you please move?" Be prepared for her to be snippy and sarcastic about it if she gets defensive, but you stay calm. It's not worth a fight.
Although, since you posted this in the crushes thread and because otherwise I'm not sure why J's behavior is upsetting you so much, I would also think about your own feelings and if you maybe have something you want to admit to yourself?
Like, I 100% get how that's rude, but if you two really are just friends, why not just scoot over to give yourself some space while continuing to talk with D? If he's not interested, she'll eventually move on and leave you both alone. Plus, that'll show J that you're not a threat and maybe she'll feel a little less jealous/possessive.
Wastedspace, J's not jealous of the author. J is jealous of D because J likes the author
I think
