Sometimes, I wonder why I can't make friends. Everyone else seems to have no problem with it. Most people probably never even think about it. Friends are a given to most. I used to be one of those people. Who would have thought in the space of one year I would lose all those friends I had since middle school. That has been over five years ago. I've met people since then that would be friend compatible, but I seem to lack the ability to keep them.
I've just been wool gathering today about friendship and fitting in. Here I am at work, surrounded by people, yet I am categorically ignored almost everyday. Not completely, mind you. Our receptionist here is really nice to me. She talks to me, but she talks to everyone. Most people here act like I'm a piece of furniture or something. When I come in to work in the mornings, no one says "Good Morning" or even "Hello". When they order lunch, nobody asks me if I want anything. Then they all sit together at a table probably 10 feet away from me. I'm left at my desk. If they are in a group discussion, any comment I make has to be repeated 2 or 3 times before anyone hears it. And then, no one ever comments back to me, they just keep on rolling along with THEIR conversation.
Can we tell that today is Self Pity Day, yet? I know, I just need to get over it! *sigh* |

Try going out and reaching to others instead of waiting for them to reach you. They'll see something they like and soon they'll be coming to you without you trying so hard.

Don't worry about people that don't want to listen to you. They are not doing anything for you and you don't need them. I have trouble making friends to but its because I'm very cynical and A total loner. I think friends are overated. It sounds like though that you are probably just shy. You can speak to people first. If you keep doing it and being nice to them eventually they'll feel like jerks and start giving you some consideration. If your working with these people try it out. Best wishes
