Left out...
 

I'm feeling a little left out. I work a lot of nights and I'm in school this year. My schedule conflicts with theirs. So I haven't been able to hang out with people as much this year. Also, two of my friends started dating this year. But I feel like they aren't really making an effort to hang out with me. I try, I suggest coffee, nights we can hang out, etc. Only one of my friends and I still hang out.

It makes me feel like crap when I log onto Facebook and see pics of everyone else hanging out and doing fun stuff. Especially when I know it happened when I was free--and they didn't think to call me after I repeatedly make attempts to hang out with them. I don't know what else to do...

Has anyone else ever had this problem? What did you do to fix the problem?

Make new friends.

Go out by yourself and have fun.

Find social clubs in your area that you have interest in and meet people.

I have very few friends that I actually "hang out" with, and all the other times I rely on myself. If they're not hanging out with you, and they show no interest in hanging out with you, you should meet new people and make other friends.

There's nothing wrong with hitting the reset button on your life and seeing who pops back onto the screen. :) Been there, done that. There are people who were better friends than I realized and some who weren't what I thought they were.

So true! I would look for new friends that make time for you! There are so many friends I thought I were good friends with and they like never talk to me anymore and don't make time for me anymore...I'm over it! I've made new friends!

If you feel that these are friends worth keeping have a serious talk with them. If face-to-face isn't working try text or email. I know it is not ideal but it may be an opportunity foou to have some closure. If that doesn't work, I also say move on. Concentrate on school. Good luck!

If they were true friends they would make the effort. I have friends that I don't speak to for weeks because we are all so busy but I know they are there for me. It doesn't sound like the case with you. You don't need that. You don't need to be begging ungrateful people to hang out with you. You are in school maybe you should ask some school friends to go get coffee and chat.

Good luck.
