    'Kay, here's a random scenario. You're with your best friend at the mall. While walking around, your friend spots a group of his/her friends. You've never met your friend's friends, and as they all start to talk to your friend, everyone acts like you don't exist or that you shouldn't be there. What do you do?

    I would probably stand around awkwardly. I'd probably look around at stores, or watch random people walk past.
     
    It has happened to me a lot of times and what I would do is just hang around and if they ever talk to me, I'd reply to them. :3
     
    I walk away. I don't like being disrespected and neither should you guys... it's just plain rude to not even acknowledge that you exist. =\
     
    I'll try and start up a conversation, maybe using my current friend as an intermediary. If he/she isn't bothered about my involvement in their conversation, I'll just go on Facebook and write bitchy statements about all of them to make myself feel better.
     
    I would probably stand around them awkwardly, observe my surroundings and wait for them to possibly start up a conversation with me. I would be too shy to start talking to them first. This is what I usually do when I'm out with people I'm not familiar with - it's a horrible feeling when it seems like your invisible to other people.

    Either that or I would make up some excuse that I have to go home or whatever if I felt that uncomfortable.
     
    Pull out the phone and start to mindlessly text or search through the internet. Works beautifully really. Otherwise if we're in a store setting then I'll just go about myself and look around the store. Ughhh it really is just the worst scenario I hate it so much. Which is why I always make sure to incorporate friends with friends when I'm the person who knows both sides because I understand the awkward pain of being the side person even if it's only for five minutes.
     
    I hate it when this happens to me D: Not that it does often because as the saying goes "If you know one person you know everyone" and in my case thats very true because I do know a lot of people and quite a few are my friends friends... But when this does happen I'll stand around awkwardly, look at other shops, stare into space on go on my phone until I get acknowledged.
     
    If they seem like nice people I just work my way into the conversation, that's how you make new friends. This happened on Friday, it made the night so much more entertaining getting to know someone new.

    If they're douches I'd just leave. Never happened to me though.

    It's not a matter of disrespect, it's a matter of levels of social ability. Someone who's particularly good at social situations would probably just jump into the conversation, but less apt people (such as myself and other people here) just don't feel comfortable doing that. It's not that the friends are outright planning to not speak to you, but they're close enough to each other that they don't have to work to include people, so they tend to expect that you'll include yourself or else you don't want to talk.

    But yeah I generally get on my phone, text a friend about how awkward it is, and push things subtly towards leaving or just getting away from that group of friends, lol.
     
    I put on an awkward smile, latch my hands on the sides of my waist and turn around slowly. Than start walking randomly, waiting for them to finish.

    I know when I'm not invited, and in such cases I'm not. Let them talk.
     
    If they ignore me for more than 5 minutes I'll glare at my friend, so that they should remember I'm here too. If they don't I'd walk away and ignore my friend for a while.
     
    I'd introduce myself.

    I'm pretty sure that when a group of people see their friend with someone they don't know, they're gonna be be JUST LIKE YOU and be TOO SHY to say HI.

    The perks of being an extrovert.

    Walk up, "Hi, I'm Jojo." Just drop in the conversation. Most people don't mind, and those who do... well it's fun to piss them off.
     
    After I introduce myself, I usually take out my phone and text or something, because usually they stop talking to me after that. Happens to me all the time.
     
    Stand around awkwardly and laugh when a joke comes up :c I've been there before. Usually, yeah I just stand here awkwardly, but one time I was with an old friend and we just walked home randomly. They didn't even know we left, because ages later the other friend started calling to see where we were. It is incredibly awkward if the other people form a group circle and you are left outside that circle DX
     
    Never really had that happen and my friends don't really have friends that I don't know but..

    I'm sure my friend would introduce me and if they wouldn't I'd just jump in and say a few things in the conversation. If they're talking about something I don't know I'll just say "Hey, I'm Tanner" and stay out of the conversation I guess.
