heyy, so i have something to tell... I have had many friends since high school, but I still feel so lonely and left out, no matter which circle I’m with. Sometimes, I feel like I’m just a friend to someone but not their very, very, very close friend—just someone they can hang out with and talk to. For instance, my group of four friends bought matching keychains but didn’t include me. I didn’t confront them about it, but one of my friends told me they forgot about me. Ouch. Another moment that hurt was when my friends made plans without me and openly talked about them without inviting me. Maybe I am the problem here? Hahaha. If not, then why don’t I get the same energy back? I’m always there for them—supporting them, helping them with their studies, and giving them good advice so they won’t regret their decisions. Am I not enough to be a good friend? Or am I just toxic for expecting too much? Hahaha.
