I feel like an outsider

I know I'm not the only one in this situation, but it always feels like other people are happy to interact with each other while I'm always left on the sidelines. I don't know why I feel bad about it since I don't really want to hang out with other people but I still feel bad that I'm left out nonetheless...

  • I can kind of relate to this post. Many years ago I had a friend who would ask me to babysit her children so that she could have a night out with her other friends. Although I had no desire to partake in the activities she enjoyed, it upset me that she never once considered asking me if I would like to join her on a night out. Whilst I'm sure she knew that I would have declined such an invitation, it would have been nice to have been asked.
