Am I so unimportant?

Hi, I just wanted to open up here again and tell you how I feel since I don't have the friends to go up to and day "Hey can we talk? I'm not feeling so well, " so I wanted to seek comfort and advice here where I don't have the fear of people criticizing me.

So I just really have the feeling I'm the most unimportant person for everyone in my life.

I only have 2 "good" friends at the moment. I have known one of them for 3 years and the other somewhat closer for 1, but we only have been like a trio for half a year now, maybe or a bit less.

I always see them getting tausend of texts from friends,their bf, and so on.

There is always somebody who messages them, and they always have a notification on their phon.

I don't get any of that for days.

Not even from them.

It just makes me wonder if I'm that unimportant.

If I text them something, it takes up to hours until they answer me.

But they are online and on some days when, for example, my friend shows me a message from my other friend. I notice "Oh she replied at that time of hour to you. I texted her a half-hour before you, and she answered me 3 hours later."

And that's what makes me upset.

While I try to get closer to them with texting stuff like "How are you doing?" If they're sick or just random texts of what I'm doing or asking what they're doing rn on weekends.

I NEVER get a text like that from them.

Only if in school they noticed I was upset once in a lifetime they ask what happened later that day.

But nothing else.

Not even a simple "Hey, how are you?"

I mean, I understand that sometimes you don't have the time, but I always think about it like this:

No person in the world, not even the busiest person, does something every minute for 24h.

You always have situations where you don't do something even if it's just for a few minutes.

And if you don't have the time for a whole "normal" day I'll say to reply to someone it's not because you don't have time it's because you don't want to or are to lazy to.

Ofc their are different situations where this mindset isn't so accurate, but I know my friends.

They text their bf in school even tho whe aren't allowed to take out our phones the whole day. Tuesdays & Thursdays, we have a long lunch break from 2-3 hours where they have so much time and do nothing.

One of them can send me 10 tiktoks at 12pm and the other stays up often at night to play video games.


Do you get it now?


They ignore my text for hours, but their bf get a evry hour update from them.

They text each other randomly. "Hey wanna hang out." "Hay, are you ok?" "Hey what are you up to?" and so on, but I never get a text from them.

I ALWAYS have to text first.

If I don't, they wouldn't even bother to talk to me outside of school.

And I feel so stupid, especially when I texted them and been waiting for 2h maybe for them to reply, and in those hours, they sent me 5 tiktoks but don't answer my message.


And that's when I really ask myself if I'm really that unimportant?


But ofc they say stuff like that they care and I' important to them but they barely show it except sometimes in school.

And the worst thing is that they are my only friends.

I don't have anyone else, but they do. 100 of people who text them first thing in the morning party paragraphs even.


I'm practically obligated to them.

And you know it's bad when I check my phone every hour, at least if somebody texts me even tho I know that my phone will ring if I get a notification.

But I still check in the hope that I maybe didn't gear it or it didn't ring, and they do text me just wanting to talk with me.


And I hate it so much.

They can text everyone and give them 10 answers to their 10 questions immediately but can't even respond to my one question?


And then they tell me I should change my way of thinking and that they try to include me and be a "good" friend.

But it doesn't show?

Maybe from small action IN school.

But mostly not even that.


But as soon as we leave school, I am just some kind of piece of garbage you forget in the corner of your room.


Yk?


I'm just so tired of not receiving what I also give and feeling like I'm 100% not worshiped by anyone.


Does anyone have an idea what I should do?

Hey Hun, it’s your right to feel upset about being ignored and not prioritized but I can tell you one thing is that you are not unimportant. I understand your feeling of potentially loneliness and frustration, just so you know I’m always here to talk.

Comparison is thief of joy.


100 texts and messages a day do not equal in depth caring relationships


the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself, when you fully love and accept yourself exactly how you are you don’t need texts or messages from anyone else to validate you or provide self worth


texting and communicating with someone else should be out of love for someone else and not about their response


what activities or things do you love to do that give you joy in life?

Well, yes, but isn't that the point?


If you can't take the time to reply to me but to others, then you don't care.


And if you don't give a crap then you obviously don't do it out of "love"


I will never love me so much that idc about other people's responses or how they treat me because it will never sound "good" for me to only live off of self-love. That sounds horrible.


Well, I like watching anime and singing, but that won't give me so much joy in life that all my thoughts and hurts will be forgotten. Maybe for a day or a few hours, but that doesn't help much if every time before that, I'm struggling with this situation, and nothing changes.

Hello


i read two of your comments on here, and I get what you are saying. Unfortunately most people don’t give a crap, and it’s no different on here. Very few, and I mean very few people have that compassion instilled in them to help others.


I have no one to talk to either. Even over paid counselors are a joke. I’ve been through many. Two of them actually fell asleep on me while I was talking! My family doesn’t like hearing my woes because it upends their view of the world, which is all lolly pops and rainbows. So screw them. Even my wife can care less. Her heart is a solid piece of ice, and yes, her days are numbered. I can’t stay married to someone like that.


anyway, let’s talk. Maybe we can help each other. Do you know if we can chat privately on here? I’m not sure, the reason I’m asking. I honestly don’t need some phony on here chiming in.

what do you say?

Oh well, that sounds horrible..


And I know, but I just don't understand it.

What makes people act like this but then want to be treated way better than they actually treat others?

Why does nobody long for the destination to be the best human being they can?


I only know that one of us has to be a listener or I also saw that some people also chatted by creating a post and then chatting in the comments. Else way I don't think you can chat on here.
