I feel like I am always the one who matters the least

[Beyond_Repair]

It's always been this way - my family, then my friends in school, then my friends in college, then my coworkers. I'm nothing to other people

The last friend I had, I always felt like I was putting in the most effort and being there for them, so I decided I would wait and see if they reached out. We no longer talk :)

Anyone relate?

Absolutely… I really do think it's just a matter of luck and a lot of us unfortunately are just unlucky and don't have anyone in our lives that really loves or cares for us. I feel your pain, I've gone through too many one-sided empty-promise friendships. It's always heartbreaking to put friendship to the test and have your "friend" fail— I'm sorry that happened to you

Thank you.

That's something I've been feeling a lot lately. There have been a few times that someone has come right out and said I was the least important, and other times where it's just evident with people's actions. That sort of thing has happened with so many friends too. Then I tried to express these feelings in a group I'm in, and literally no one paid attention, but other people can get responses, just not me. And even if it weren't going on still, I feel like I'm so fundamentally broken from growing up with these feelings all throughout my life that there's no getting past it.
