Just over two weeks ago I was told by a friend of mine she didn't want to talk to me anymore, just out of the blue. So I'm been down ever since. None of my friends and family have seemed to notice. Or at least no one has bothered to ask me why I'm so down in the last 2 weeks. And today was a friend of mine's birthday and no one bothered to tell me there was a party until after it had started and I got a text asking me if I was making the hour drive to where they had all gathered.

I just feeling abandoned by my friends. Wondering if I actually have any real friends or just people I happen to know.

Sorry you are feeling abandoned! I can understand why you are hurt.

How old are you if you don't mind sharing? Friendships come and go - especially when we are younger, I think. However, an abrupt end to a friendship is confusing and hurts. Did you ask your friend why she wanted to not speak with you anymore? She may not answer, which you can't control - but I think it is OK to ask. Were you friends for a long time? Any recent arguments?

Regarding your other friend - were you able to wish them a happy bday? Perhaps they thought you had received an invite to the party but it feel through the cracks somehow?

I'm almost 38. I've never really been good with other people, very introverted. I think that's why the loss of the first friend 2 weeks ago (details of that are in another thread) really started this spiral and I'm having real issues with feeling lonely and not really wanted.

Apparently there was a birthday invitation on Facebook but I don't really use fb. It just hurts to think they forgot to even check with me to see if I was going until after they had already met up and got started.

I don't use FB, either. It seems like "everyone" does nowadays.

I'm introverted, too. I need my alone time but then I get lonely, at times.

It's hard. I can relate. *hugs*
