This seems minor in the scheme of things, but dang, it just feels rotten.
Maybe it's just bothering me more because my mental health has really been taking a hit with this stupid pandemic. It is REALLY getting to me. Not fear. Bleakness and loneliness. And I'm out there working! It's not like I'm not amongst people. I'm having a good ol' cry writing this. Why is it getting to me so much??!!
Edited to add: OMG, whatever. I SO hear you!! Many, many hugs... |

Innerzone There is absolutely nothing strange or wrong or weird about wanting to feel heard. There is nothing more frustrating than not being able to interject or acknowledge anything because you’re drowned out. You’re putting in effort , they should appreciate that. I’m not saying it’s a conscious decision on their part , it’s probably not but it doesn’t make it any less of a problem. I’m sorry Innerzone, I’ve been there and I’be hated it. You’re too damn good of a person and trying too damn hard, and honestly too valuable to be ignored like that. You hold so much insight and I bet you’re creative and funny as hell. I hope your group realized what they do and you get a chance to speak up. They’re missing out, but may not know it.
