I feel like I’m never anyone’s first choice. My whole life, I’ve been ghosted and ignored by friends, and never picked first for partners or group projects or sports teams. While I do have better friends now, I still sometimes get that feeling. My best friend made some new friends this year and invited one of my other friends to the group, so they stopped hanging out with us at lunch. My other really good friend never responds to me quick, but I get a feeling that as soon as his online friends message him, he’s there on the spot to reply to them. The worst feeling recently was not going to prom with my friends. Most of them had planned to go and decided to not invite me. It hurt because I am close with these people and we’ve really helped each other in the past with personal issues. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just too needy. Again, I rarely feel like this around these friends, but I still sometimes develop these feelings of being left out and lonely.
