I've been trying to relate to a group I'm in and lately it feels like everything I say falls on deaf ears. Or is outright ignored which is the more common outcome. I received some 'feedback' and since then it has felt bad. I can't relate to them in any way so my attempts to bridge that some and seeing them ignored feels extra bad.
If this is a group you don't have to socialize with, maybe consider not belonging to the group anymore. I'm concerned that you will change yourself too much to meet their expectations. If you have to socialize with them, then remember to hold your boundaries!
Oh for sure. I left on Friday because I was tired of feeling like they didn't want me there. Then today found out one of the people stabbed me in the back after leaving the group and it cost me a faux job of sorts. Just funny because whenever I let people into my circle they fuck me over as soon as it's convenient to them.
Sorry for slow reply. Lemmy wasn't putting up the notification until today.
that sucks 😞
Yeah it does. I busted my ass for a month and all it took was one 'friend' doing what I always know will happen. Such is life. Now I need to find something to lose myself in.
