Constantly being interrupted and ignored

I feel like the group of friends I hang out with dint really think of me as an actual friend or something. I am confused. Every time we are in a group setting, I can't seem to get a word in during conversations or I will be halfway through my sentence when someone will interrupt me out of the blue either about the same thing or something completely different and will act like I was never talking at all. Also sometimes if I make a joke I am told to stop it and never say that again or not say that at a specific time but then someone else will say the exact same thing or joke, perhaps a minute later or two, and everyone bursts out laughing. It's as if I'm not allowed to say something or joke around but they can. Makes me wonder if they secretly don't like me as a friend or something or at least not as much of a friend as they do towards each other. We all met around the same time but I feel like they still really don't feel that close to me for some reason, they just don't come out and say it. Also in the past I have been treated like I don't exist when we are hanging out and also get ignored. Feel like they are secretly trying to tell me something. They seem fine with me one-on-one and they don't interrupt as much when it's just me and one other person so I'm thinking they only like talking to me alone and not in a group for some reason. :/

Hi BPHS2010 We have our own groups of people here at Psych Central. Welcome to the family. It's great to have you. You didn't mention that you have any mental illnesses.
Maybe it's just stereotyping on behalf of you friends. Some people just don't understand. You can make lots of new friends here at PC. Keep browsing, and you will find the right group to mingle with.

I am sorry your friends make you feel this way. I have been there before as well. Maybe it is time you distance yourself from them a bit and look for new friends that will appreciate you?
Welcome to PC btw

I too am sorry you are going through this.

I wanted to ask, have you told any of them how you feel about their treatment of you? Also, how old are you friends?

I ask because I actually feel that my wife and daughters treat me the same way. I personally have told them that it bothers me. However, my oldest daughter has been diagnosed with A.D.D. and I've always thought my wife was borderline A.D.D. as well. It's possible that I'm not being ignored or interrupted because they don't love me, just that physically they aren't able to keep their concentration on me. Teens, especially boys, have issues with concentration too.

I told one of them and she apologized but really doesn't make an effort to change. One of them has ADHD, which is the one who apologized, and one guy friend has ADD. The others just simply interrupt. I give the two friends with ADD and ADHD a little slack and lead way but they tend to do it way more to me than towards others. The one with ADHD is 20, almost 21, the one with ADD is 20, another guy is 19, almost 20, and the other girl is 19. I just turned 24 so maybe the age difference plays a factor in it? Maybe they really don't like me as much of a friend because of that.

I know, kind of makes me think that they secretly wish I would leave them alone. Which sometimes I do. It may sound immature but there has been times when I get a vibe so strong from them that they wanted me to leave that I would actually calmly get up, say I have to do something real quick and leave. Maybe that wasn't very good but I did that a few times and they never contacted me back to see if I was coming back or asked about my whereabouts. In a way, that is saying something.

Any possibility of new or another friends?

Not as of now but I may look for new friends especially since this will be my last year of college and want to make the best of it. I probably should get new ones.

It's my belief that these "friends" are just rather immature in both their attitudes and interactions with others, such as you. They all seem to be in the same age group and seem to suffer from similar issues (A.D.D.). I would say "birds of a feather..."

I agree with some of the other posters, that you should look at finding new friends, perhaps some that are more emotionally and socially mature. A true friend is someone who will listen to your story to the end and provide feedback even if he/she isn't interested in the subject.

Maybe they are not good with allowing everyone their say in a group setting. Maybe you should confront each individual with the specific problem you're having with them. Like, for example, "when we were all hanging out last time, I felt like this...because you said this..." And see if talking to them in a nice way about it works or the feelings will turn into resentment when they may not have realized they hurt your feelings at all.

I agree with you. They are definitely immature and constantly repeat the same conversations over and over again. Especially perverted ones.

I agree, I will talk with them individually. Although I do know one of them may not respond very well but oh well, she needs to hear it.
