It's suck to surround yourself with people who make you feel alone, whether you consider them relatives or friends...

i get this deep pit in my chest and i'm tired of it and i just want to cry forever.

I guess we're all here cuz we all felt the same pain

[julierubens]

also, it hurts even more if you don’t know why you’re being excluded.

The worst part is when they still wanna make you feel that you are good but still exclude u

I hate being left out, it has happened to me all my life, but now I'm getting used to it. Loneliness is now becoming my friend. I know that sounded edgy but that's just how I feel.

it sucks even more when you see your "closest" friends slowly be pulled away from you. they become more interested in other people. you can never seem to fit in with them now. they act like they don't care about you...

Some people have huge hearts and they are kind but then they’re the ones that are excluded

The worst part is when you catch on that your circle of friend is excluding you, and instead of being honest with you about it, they insist nothing is going on and just let you believe you are crazy.

:( if ur watching this cause your lonely, socially awkward/outcasted I’m so sorry you have to go through that. It truly does hurt but know there’s a lot of people like you and we all understand. You’re not weird, and there’s nothing wrong with you.

Being rejected throughout high school has been a huge factor in worsening and probably causing in the first place my depression...

He makes it sound like a temporary condition. But for some people, it isn't.

Being excluded or used as a convenient friend but only until someone else shows up.

Story of my life. I am so used to it that it doesn't affect me anymore. In fact I expect people to be like that to me. I find it shocking when there are people who are interested in me and want to include me. It's a way of life for me. You will eventually become numb to it. The good thing is I don't gravitate towards people and I like my own company.

People who ostricize others, are emotional bullies. Main reason why there's so many mass shootings. People get tired of being treated unfairly and snap, think about it!!!

[juliagrace]

I wish my friends could see how leaving people out really affects them

[geoffvids]

I've dealt with this feeling my whole life, it hurts so bad sometimes. I can't help but take it personally, eventhough I know I don't deserve this. Nobody does.

it makes me so angry and upset whenever I talk to a group of people and no one acknowledges me. It makes me wanna know what im doing wrong but I dont know. its a type of pain thats hard to describe
