I'm not sure where this should go. In Chit-Chat or in here, so I put it in here. This is a rant. But advice is appreciated. Alright, so I'm ******* fed up with this. My friends always hang out with one another, and then at school they always talk or boast about what they do. I sit there with nothing to say. Sure I don't like hanging out with anyone, but no one ever invites me. Friends have parties: I'm not invited. Birthdays: I'm not invited. Okay fine. By this point you're probably wondering if I ever invite them over, or out, or something. Well I do. But I don't understand why I have to be the one to say: "Hey! come over today?" No! I'm always the one to have to do that, even if I hint that it would be fun to hang out, I'm never invited. Also, I've been thinking (only a little bit) about stealing a cigarette from my Mom, or asking my friend (who smokes) for one. Now back to the no-invites thing. I want to be able to hang out with friends without feeling guilty afterwards!!!! But no, I can't let it be all fun for the time it takes to hang out with someone, I'm always guilty about what we do, or how I hung out with them, or I just feel anxious afterwards! Most of the time I regret going because of this. (My friends and I do some crazy things when we are together.) Also, like now, I feel anxious like I've done something bad, when I haven't! But my brain says: "Be upset because you did something bad." And I know I didn't but the feeling is making me think I did. I'm such a bloody ******* mess. :icon_sad:
Hi RainbowWolfie It's okay, you haven't done anything bad. In case it helps to read that. Please don't smoke. I can't order you not to, and you don't need me to tell you it's bad for you, so I'm just saying please don't. Find something relaxing to do instead, like playing pointless games on the Internet. I can't really help with your not getting invited to hang out, but I hope it gets better or you can make more friends.
Try not to start smoking. According to the Canadian Lung Association: "8 out of 10 guys and 7 out of 10 girls say they would not date someone who smokes" Here's a link to the whole page, it's interesting. Smoking and Teens, Children, youth, Canadian Lung Association, smoking statistics, Canada, Canadian Cancer Society About the hanging out thing: I have no idea. I locked myself in a bathroom stall to eat lunch when I was 14. Sometimes all you can give it is time.
