I know what you mean about the lack of support. I have done a lot for people, but when I need something, I am on my own.

Story of my life. To be blunt, it sucks!

It freaking irritates me so much that only certain people get support and attention when they are having a tough time while I am left to twist in the wind when I'm having a tough time.

Can understand you fully sweetheart. Why this is will always stay a mystery to me. I know people in my real life who nag a lot and their problems are literally nothing compared to what I experience on a daily basis and they get attention in floods from everyone and people tell them how horrible they have it and how much they suffer and when I even say a word about my problems, people don't even listen or even have the guts to tell me to stop nagging when I am always there for everyone, always supportive and understanding. Boggles my mind.

Think people like us just need to look out for each other because otherwise we would have no one at all.


I agree with you. We should all look out for each other.

It would be to my advantage to be more "popular" than I am now

Although I would not want too many social commitments

Not having precious lil "friends" causes a lot of challenges

Job networking

Had to live with strangers in college

"Popular" is not the goal. But "popular" appears to be better than the current situation



:D


It's definitely hard to network when you struggle with making friends. It's hard to find good room mates when making friends is a challenge.

Every now and than one of those special people will ask me to help with whatever....now days my answer is no. They ask for a reason, "I am not interested, thank you for asking".

Sometimes I feel left out

And at this point, I have only one or two friends that even bother to answer my email

Let alone hanging out in person

Or anything like that


Having said that I want a lot of :heart: alone time :roll:


And I don't want to be on the phone too often

But not having anyone to phone is not that great either
