Am I the asshole

I feel like my friend is replacing me and I know they keep telling me I’m the most important person to them, but they made this new friend because they felt lonely (and I’m happy for them and that they’ve been able to solve their problems), but every time we’ve been on call since they’re always talking to their new friend on the side and it hurts man like am I not good enough??? Why can’t you just talk to me??? Ohmygod my site refreshed and I lost like 2/3 of what I wrote whatever… basically I feel like my place is being taken away from me (like the things they used to associate with me is not suddenly about their new friend), but every time I try to talk about it I just feel like my feelings are invalidated and that it’s my fault… like am I an insecure horrible friend or am I justified to feel like this

its perfectly fine to feel that way, and you cant control how you feel anyway. i dont rly have advice for this and im also kinda bad at comforting, but i hope this is enough <3

You're completely justified dw. Though I will say if this gets to the point where you start to see physical signs of them replacing you, I wouldn't stay. From experience, yes, people tend to tell you what you want to hear, which in your case would be that you're not being replaced even when you see differently. It's completely normal to feel insecure, and this is just a suggestion, see if you could talk to your friends friend about it. I would look out for if they get defensive or start defending your friend for their actions. Then yes, I'd break off that friendship. Because they clearly want to be the only one with some sort of friendship status.
