When friend groups develop unspoken social hierarchies

Our friend group has this unspoken hierarchy where some people's opinions always seem to matter more, and I've started staying quiet in conversations because I assume what I have to say isn't that interesting. But now I resent the dynamic we've all created and I don't know if the problem is my insecurity or that we've actually become a group where not everyone's voice counts equally.

What we've seen

You're questioning whether your diminished sense of worth in the group reflects an internal problem or a relational truth that everyone is avoiding.
