How do I confront people?

My friends keep being mean to me about my girlfriend, and I don't know how to tell them to stop. Because of this, I stopped hanging out with them, but now I am lonely. I hang out with my girlfriend, but I would like friends outside of that.

How do I talk to them about this? Whenever I want to confront them, my mind goes blank. A part of me wants to make new friends, but I don't know how to do that.

It's like I don't have the toolsets in my brain. How do you confront people? How do you think of what to say?

Your friends are a**holes. You are right to disassociate with them. If you are lonely for friends, make better ones this time. Training them in basic human decency is not only not your job, but destined to fail.
 
I find that if there is something I want to say to someone if I write it down a few days beforehand it gives me time to edit so I get the words in my head right.
