How friend groups handle one person who dominates social dynamics

Our friend group has one person who always dominates conversations and makes everything about them, and the rest of us have started making plans without them. We feel guilty but also relieved, and we don't know if we should address it or just let the friendship fade.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group's attempt to protect its collective energy through exclusion creates guilt that may be more corrosive than the original problem.
