Ever felt ignored or stuck out of place? Like your in someplace that you don’t really belong or unwanted? I’ve been feeling it for years but I’ll share two recent examples:
Last weekend the people at work were organising Christmas parties. Each person was asked where they were going or who they were going with and people were getting all excited about the up coming events but not a single person asked or invited me. Keep in mind I’m sat in the middle of the room so people have to talk over me and the ones who were short on numbers still didn’t bother. I asked to join some groups but it really hurt when they told me they had enough but carried on looking for other people to join them afterwards.
There was a family photograph taken some years back that I still hate to this day. Both my younger sisters are there with their husbands, my mother is there with my step-dad but for some reason I’m stood at the back looking like some awkward teenager. I’m 32 years old yet I look and feel so out of place, they’re dressed smart while my clothes are shabby, they’re smiling while I have this pathetic shoot-me expression. I just seem the odd one out like I’m not supposed to be there.
