Ignored

[~justme~]

Maybe it's just all my anxiety and depression, but I'm having problems with feeling ignores and left out. It makes me feel worse. I just want to be accepted and I try to be nice to everyone but it's like I'm over looked every where. I feel it here too when in chat and things. Maybe it's just me or maybe I'm just not a likable person. Just needed to express myself.

I feel that way too.. like i am not part of the group,, like in conversation in the break room or at all everyone is laughing and chatting and having a good time. while i sit in the background and smile..  and also i feel like what ever i am going to say is going to come out wrong or stupid.. and afraid of what other people will think. and at work. so i feel like i am a loner but not by choice. just my anxiety gets the best of me.. so i dont feel i mingle well and feel like when i try it sounds so silly that no one wants to reply..

Yeah i dont understand why i keep feeling like this. i dont expect much but its hard when i feel like my world is crashing and no one wants to help me. i guess we need to try and help one another. thanks for the reply and letting me know i am not the only one..

I feel the same way too at work. Although I talk to a few people that I don't feel this around. It still makes me feel like a loser. Whenever I talk to someone I usually don't I feel like whatever I'm saying is stupid. I feel left out everytime. I don't know what it is about me it's like in not like the other girls at work. Most of the people I get along with aren't even my own age. My best friend at work is like a second mother to me.

Don't let anxiety steal away any more from us than it already does, at times. Of course in the long run, we want to get to point where our anxiety really doesn't dictate much at all in the way we feel, or act. It's tough, I know. But, keep in mind, that aside from anxiety, we are all different peeps. Some are more outgoing and some are more reserved and guarded. I have friends (not anxiety sufferers to my knowledge), who are good people, but they tend to stay "in the background", so to speak, and not draw much attention to themselves. Others are the ones dancing on the table tops:) Anxiety and depression can bring on a tidal wave of feeling like we don't "fit"....and that there is little hope of ever "fitting in". It's just not the case, most of the time. If we are able to seek out our healing path from our anxiety / depressive issues, then who knows what might happen as far as our outlook on life and our possibility to "fit in":) Sometimes we have to "push the envelope" to test ourselves, perhaps. Making an effort on our parts to push through some of our fears might lead us to realizing that we were, actually, letting anxiety play a larger role in our interactions than maybe should have been the case. Again, I know how we can struggle. But, there is hope and help, always:)

Peace and Feel Well:)

Aww....you guys, don't feel that way. I'm sure no one is ignoring you intentionally. I haven't been on chat in such a long time, but when I was everyone at the time was very friendly. I stopped going on because it became very addictive for me. Try it a bit more and acknowledge others in chat and try to chime in. I think sometimes ppl get caught up in their own issues that they unintentionally shut ppl out. We're all human and it happens.

All you guys have a great wknd and try to think positive. You are all wonderful ppl.

I don't think its as much feeling ignored as it is anxiety making you feel like you are in your own world. It happens to me too where I'm just so wrapped up in my anxiety I feel as though I'm missing something important.

Feel better!

I think most people with mood disorders or anxiety have low self-esteem.  Try not to think that way about yourself - I see alot of people responding to your posts.  On the other hand, there are alot of posts for people to respond to and that can be overwhelming!
