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?

Answer Detail

I’m not the type to go along with the unconscious ostracism vibe

I'd first casually say to everyone, “Let's invite ○○ lately too,” and if it's still brushed off, I’d switch to hanging out with that kid one-on-one. 😶‍✨ I don’t go along with an unconscious bullying-like atmosphere, and if it keeps going, I’d keep a bit of distance from that five-person group.
