In a group of friends and if you're the most quiet among them, that's usually the situation. You're the one that they will pour out their feelings to if they're sad, angry, or feeling anything negative. The quiet one is usually the most mature in most cases and the wise one
It is also possible though that you're hanging out with the wrong people. If your close friends happen to be extroverts, chances are they won't give a **** about your feelings or they most likely wouldn't ask what's up in a serious manner. I'm talking based on my own experiences. There are just some people who can't and don't listen and those are some of the people I find very hard to get along with.
I feel you tehdreamer. I used to long for friends who would listen to me and would initiate stuff like invite me to go somewhere, ask me if I wanted to do this, asked me what I'm thinking about. Everyone needs to feel cared about so it's perfectly normal.
Tehdreamer, I really hate it when friends forget about you, particularly leaving you behind. That's actually one of my super mega pet peeves. I forgot to put that in the pet peeves thread. I remember there was this basketball game we attended. It was our university versus another university. The court was under a mall. I went there together with my friends and some were just acquaintances. After the game I had to pass my ticket to our PE teacher for bonus points for attending. I couldn't find him though. When I went back to the exit of the court my companions were gone. I was thinking not one of them thought about me or even remembered I was there. They are likeeee sooo mannyyyy. I had to be the one to look for them and I did act a bit of a brat cuz I was really hurt and mad. I said I wanted to go home and if they could, just point me to the direction of the LRT station. One of them asked me" You don't wanna hang out with us anymore?" I was like
! At dinner I refused to eat like I was still steaming boiling mad. My face wasn't mad but my companions knew I was. The next day I didn't pay any attention to them.
Tehdreamer, just get new friends. Not everyone's like that
There are definitely some people out there who know how to keep friendships mutual.
