“Forgotten” and “Unimportant” – You Are Not Alone

For the longest time, I have felt like someone who just “doesn’t matter” to hardly anyone. I am generally someone who is forgotten about and it seems like I’m simply not worth most people’s time or friendship. I will admit to not being very outgoing and am certainly socially awkward much of the time – hell, you could even make a case for describing me as “creepy,” I suppose – and I used to feel that these things had a lot to do with it. Quite honestly, though, I do wonder if there is something about me that is actually not related to those characteristics that puts people off and makes them feel that way toward me.

I used to believe that people like me were a rarity, but in reading many of the posts here over the past couple of months, I’ve noticed these things appear to be a fairly common thread:

“I am forgotten.”

“I’m not worth being around.”

“I am invisible to those around me.”

“I don’t matter to anyone.”

I will never claim to be happy that anyone else feels this way. However, I will admit that it is reassuring in a way to know that I am not alone.

If you are reading this and can relate, it’s important to realize that you are not alone, either. I won’t claim to have the answer as to why things are this way for you, but you are not the only one who feels it. Hopefully, you will find some comfort in knowing that.

This may seem like a silly, pointless post. But, for whatever reason, it just seemed kind of important to write.
