Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Okay...........

Serious talk time with Lucy.

So I've been having this feeling for the past maybe, two weeks, and I finally thought I should tell someone.  but I feel like you all are the only people I trust enough to tell first.

Lately, I've been feeling unwanted.  Not on here, of course, but almost everywhere else.

I feel unwanted.

Unnecessary.

Like a toy left out in the rain.

And the scary thing is, I don't know why.

I've started sitting by myself during P.E. and not talking to my friend group.  I've started going to the library right after I eat lunch to avoid talking to people, as if they might give me flack for something, or insult me.  I've started feeling like people are constantly talking behind my back about something or other that's wrong with me.

And I don't know what to do.

PLEASE HELP ME!!

@Admins: Just let me know if this isn't an apropriate subject for me to discuss, alright? 

Lucy B., it's hard to hear you feeling so badly, especially since you are very much wanted and appreciated here! I am posting your comment because I think your fellow CBers may relate, or have advice for you, or just want to offer their support. Sometimes in social situations and at school, people get left out, intentionally or accidentally, and it feels really bad. If you're feeling uncomfortable in your lunch and P.E. groups, perhaps you have a trusted friend you can talk this over with, one-on-one instead of in a group? Or maybe this is a good opportunity to push yourself to try a new club or activity and make some new friends. It's ok to want alone time when you're overwhelmed, but don't isolate yourself too much. There are people out there who like you and want to spend time with you.
