I feel like everyone is purposely ignoring me

My friends have been ignoring me lately, and they only talk to me if I reach out to them. it's causing me a great deal of frustration and sadness when I'm alone.

I don't want to ask them why they're ignoring me, cause that would seem needy.

I understand that.. but I think that's the only way to go if you want to solve this problem. If it's causing you this, it needs to be talked about.. if they are true friends, they'll understand. Big hugs

Maybe you need to get some new friends… But there could be some reasons behind this: It could be that they really don't how they are treating you and it may not be intentional. Or maybe they don't like the fact that you are too clingy (no offense if this is true). But I know some people who try too hard to include themselves without even realizing it. But of course, their is also the high possibility that they are just lousy friends…

Meeting good friends is a disturbingly hard thing to do nowadays. I mean for some it's easy… But if your like me it's a relatively hard thing to do. Please don't get to the point where your telling yourself you're not important, because that would only be you telling yourself that. This can be a dangerous thing because we often believe what we think of ourselves or tell ourselves then what others tell us. So we tend to believe things that aren't true about ourselves… You are important and if your friends can't see that then it may be time to distance yourself from them…

I am thinking about staying away from them for a while... or talking to them soon..

I don't know what is right.

I don't want to be clingy. That's my worst fear. Lately I've avoided doing anything that may seem clingy.

I don't have many friends. I really felt like these new friends were some of my best friends. It's depressing.

I didn't say you are clingy though. If these new friends of yours aren't treating you right I don't think you should consider them as friends… I know it's hard but you deserve better… Is there anyone you can turn to like family to make you feel better? I'm sorry this happened…

I want to give them some time.

I am thinking about staying away from them for a while to see if they'll miss me or at least care about me. but the wait would stress me out everyday and increase with each passing day.

I live really far from my family, alone.

I am so worried about what they're thinking about me. I wish I could focus on somethihng else.

I think that sounds like a good idea!

I'm split 50-50 between whether you should talk with them to address the problem or give them space. I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Good luck.

In this case, you might be better off alone. Time to find new friends.

I wish I could. I'm so bad at making friends. I have thought about it though.

If it was me I would just ask them if everything was okay. Sometime's people have things going on in their lives that have absolutely nothing to do with you. If it is about you at least you will know what's going on and be able to decide if these are people you want to be friends with.

I'm thinking about just clearing it up because the more I wait, the worse I'll feel.

I had a lifelong friend (since 6 years of age), and we would hang out for extended periods of times at different phases of our lives. But then, in our forties, he just stopped keeping in touch.

I tried to keep the friendship going, but for some reason he just decided that he didn't want to be friends anymore. So, you could approach them, I would say, but also be prepared that sometimes people just lose interest.

It has nothing to do with you and please don't blame yourself or feel too bad about it. Sometimes I think it just happens as a "fact of life." But I wouldn't give up on them just yet, until you give it some more time....

I would feel so bad if someone suddenly stopped keeping in touch with me.

So I did call all my friends today and they responded. I'm feeling better today, but I still have my doubts.

I feel like I'm just too skeptical of things and should just trust my friends.
