Feeling hurt. I don't like these social games.

I understand completely.

I do this too, and I don't mean to reject or offend anyone by unfriending them. I usually just figure they won't notice anyway, if they haven't spoken to me in awhile. I feel really uncomfortable having a lot of people just "lurking" on my posts without commenting. I don't see the point in being friends with someone on FB if we don't have anything to say to each other.

I feel more annoyed when people friend me, who seem like they just want to collect a large list of friends, so many that there's no way they could have meaningful connections with all of those people. Those people are the ones who strike me as phony.

On a forum I haven't posted on in over several months some random person tried to friend me. Why? I have no idea.

On another forum I go on I've had people try to friend me and I just ignore it. On that one I see no point at all to it other than to have a list of people that are your "friends". It doesn't do anything or add any features as far as I can tell.

I had this problem in my last year of school. I was 15-16, which is an awkward age to start making new friends at school, so I stuck with a small group of girls who were in most of my classes and were introverts like me. I felt we got along so well, and I was happy when we were all friends. But sometimes they would randomly fall out and not speak to one another, and then for some reason they would take it out on me, and then all make up again and then I was ignored and hated by them, even though I wasn't the one who caused them to argue in the first place. It was a bad time because there was nobody I could talk to. My mum was going through a lot of stress with other things so I didn't want to add to her worries by letting her know that I was unhappy in school. My 'friends' got mad at me when I told the teachers, but I had to talk to somebody about my feelings. So I just had to deal with it by myself. I used to shut myself in my room in the evenings and write down all my thoughts and feelings down in a journal, and do creative stuff to help take my mind off of school. I just had to become my own best friend.

I do wish I had just walked out of school and keep on walking until i got lost, just to get away from it all. But I knew if i did that, my mum would find out and it would stress her out more. So i just had to get on with it.
